A lot of people seem to think that the only impact to Frontier employees would be that they would become Southwest employees. I seriously doubt this would be the case for the vast majority. Maybe some would be hired into open positions, but what about all of the people working at the corporate offices, like accountants, payroll clerks, receptionists, crew schedulers, marketing analysts, etc.? I doubt SWA would have any need for them. How about those in middle management? Reservations agents? IT? Face it, a lot of people would be out of work and this is a bad time to lose your job, whether you are an aircraft appearance agent or a Vice President of whatever.
To Southwest Leadership: I realize that business is business and that this is a business decision. But you have over $2 BILLION dollars in the bank. SWA is not at risk of going anywhere. It is unconscionable to put people out of work unnecessarily. How would you be able to sleep at night? You can't really expect anyone to believe that you are going to hire a significant number of Frontier employees.
Why don't you admit the fact that you are unable to compete with Frontier in the Denver market, and that the only way to beat them is to buy them?
