I think this move is all about competing with SWA. JB isn’t really a contender at their current size and spirit/frontier isn’t really a massive threat to SWA with the ULCC and their combined size.
We have separate PTO and vacation banks. Not enough, but they’re separate.
Our contract requires a JCBA so no parallel operations which should give us more leverage. I’m all about white shirts. Probably easier to find 8000+ new style white shirts than 3500+ blue ones.
