Don’t expect a new contract anytime soon. The good news is the Spirit side of B6 will grow as much as management can let it and the legacy JB side not so much.
Do you intentionally not pay attention?
B6's pilot contract says any merger must have a CBA in 6 months or they pay B6 pilots substantial penalties.
The Merger language says they have to have a merger close by December or it pays penalties to the NK shareholders.
But yeah, I'm sure B6 management will drag it out to save a few pennies on spirit pilots.
