This conversation got a little unnecessarily heated...I work for F9, I have a lot of friends that work for Spirit. I think a merger would benefit both sides, both would gain aircraft and new destinations, and we could try to negotiate a CBA that pulled from both of our contracts strengths. Yes we do have some golden nuggets in our cba, even though we are underpaid! I think a merged spirit/frontier company would be in a better position to compete, but maybe I'm wrong. I suppose in time this will all play out and we'll see.
