Let’s hold out for another $20 an hour over the next year in which the govt will take half of in taxes. We all know what our mgmt team is capable of. We have holes in scope. LTD sucks. Pay sucks. Possible merger during this period.
We give Bendo another year of this and we might just find out how bad our present scope is.
Points well made.
I do see a situation where Indigo will stall negotiations with F9 until they are released. Then a merger between Spirit, F9 and possible Allegiant will occur. I envision a meeting with the NMB and Indigo explaining how this merger will severely complicate the negotiation process and require much more time. Which means a couple more years of the lowest pilot pay rates in the industry, big savings for Indigo.
Franky makes his money buying airplanes, selling them to a leasing company then leasing them back. Rumor is around 5 million per airframe. What else is he going to do with 200 plus ac on order? There is no way he can grow F9 with all those planes.
