If it isn't positive NPV

Southwest Airlines CEO Gary Kelley on acquiring other airlines (via NYTimes):

The thought of simply acquiring outright another airline that is
destined to lose money this year just doesn’t seem like a good
opportunity.

This is it! No consideration of possible synergies and savings from them. If the target is not generating positive cash flow it does not matter.
