This is GREAT news for those of us who have been held hostage by WN when they took over the intra-California market during the last fuel price boom in 2008. Once the deal closes, frequent flyer programs are merged, my only reason to fly WN will be the occasional leisure trip to LAS. The sooner the better.

For the WN Koolaid drinker, competition from a low cost, full service carrier should be a good thing.
Any possible credibility your post may have had was instantly negated by the unnecessary Koolaid comment. Nice job.
