Ok. Now we've had two failures to communicate/keep our word. It's 30 minutes to 6 and nothing ever happened today or "shortly"(several hours ago). Way to push us to the close of business Friday so you can shut down until next week without giving any real details because everything the interview above are just fluff and dodge answers.

As much as I LUV the F9 product and was looking forward to it joining Midwest's great product under a healthy Republic and sticking around, this quote from F9 Ramp "WN wants our market share and our gates, not our people, planes, or our culture. Please WN, prove me wrong....offer us jobs, offer to give us half credit for years served for seniority and pay purposes. Because I would really like the certainty of paying my mortgage and feeding my 2 year old. " and this "The hope at Frontier is that Southwest is “not just buying the airplanes to get rid of a competitor,” Stemmler says. “We actually do what we do quite well.”
http://www.businessweek.com/lifestyle/travelers_check/archives/2009/07/s..." from above are two things that I REALLY hope you keep in mind to regardless of what you do. If this is about just the ruthless squashing of a competitor at the probable loss of a good people and jobs in a terrible economy and you and Frontier could stay in business and do fine without those losses if you didn't buy them, then please don't by them. That would be such a terrible thing to do and you're the last people I would expect to do it.
