Forgetting the merger for a moment, the current contract is up for review. If Spirit were to continue as a stand alone company, there are many sections of the contract we would want to review or negotiate changes and that can take months of back and forth following well documented procedures. If the company recognizes at this moment pay shortfalls are driving excessive attrition, the NC could work a temporary agreement to raise pay, but we would not just sign off on a first year increase to stem their retention issues and then drag out further negotiations. Instead they would seek an across the board increase, and then some type of language that says if the merger doesn’t happen we go back and reevaluate pay and any other sections for a stand alone NK contract.
