If I were a legacy CEO, I would say "AA, you take Spirit. UAL, you buy Frontier." ULCC = done. And they each get hundreds of new planes with typed pilots to replace their aging fleets.. But what do I know.
This places would be just fine though with a standard contract. Just sad that FOs are missing about $40 for every credit hour.. And Captains nearly twice that.
A 4th/5th year CA is about $115 short on pay alone, not including bonus, retirement, and any other compensation.
