For the Spirit folks, many will probably have to start commuting, bc JB doesn’t seem to care for small satellite bases at all. I just can’t see them keeping all of Spirit’s current bases. I would expect them to consolidate those into B6’s existing hubs with *maybe* 1-2 strategic holdovers like LAS.
Totally hope this is just a ploy to run the price up or create a poison pill as a temporary defensive tactic
The biggest problem for B6 are the 190s. They are a lower status and category than an Airbus. So those Captains are below all Airbus Captains and the FOs are below all FOs. The smaller planes at B6 benefit the Spirit Pilots greatly.
I’m guessing 75% weight for status and category and 25% for longevity…
