When does voting, on both sides, close for S.L. 10?

Whether or not people choose to believe this, is their own decision.
fixed it for you.....

SWA can't paint an aircraft in SWA colors and then let AirTran pilots fly them. It would be a complete violation of our contract. No aircraft can say "Southwest" and be flown by pilots that aren't SWAPA pilots. Not "Southwest Express," or "A Soutwest Affiliate," or Southwest anything.

When SWA was negotiating the AirTran acquisition with AirTran management, SWA deferred aircraft deliveries because of AirTran's large number of unfunded aircraft orders. SWA could't defer AirTran orders before they were acquired.

Vote closes Nov 8 I do believe.

But what is next if SLI10 passes with both groups? Aircraft order announced? Codeshare with both WN and FL.

Embatp, I should probably let you know now that PisteOff is one of your fellow AirTran pilots. He normally posts under a different name.
