I'm surprised that no one is talking about the likelihood of a major slow down in progression if the B6 deal happens. I get we don't like the haunting experience of F9's management when they were here, or Barry's stupid comment about a pilot surplus (posturing), but an F9 merger has significantly more airplanes and growth ahead than does a B6 merger. Obviously we need to fix the attrition problem (which any idiot understands cannot continue if we are to meet our growth plans..or any growth) but aside from that anyone with 10 or more years left will likely see much better options and a better overall business model with the F9 merger.
