That being said, our group should invest wisely any additional income that may come with C2018 so we can each be in a position to turn down a substandard offer next time around, should it be presented.
It's been fun, Peace
If they are frustrated then that’s their problem. I wasn’t frustrated when Allegiant or sun country signed their contracts. And surprisingly we were able to negotiate substantially better. Our contract has very little to do with Frontier or JBlue getting the most they can get. But hey, we live in a generation where everyone is a victim, so play your victim cards and blame everything on everyone else.
