I had to think about what the odds are of the JetBlue TA passing with their legacy snap up language and what the odds are of that language carrying into a JCBA.
After all of that and playing the odds I felt a yes vote was the best choice. If the merger doesn’t close though yes we gave away a ton of leverage and are screwed in more ways than one. Spirit will no go it alone. Frontier will come back for their “second bite of the apple”. In that case I’m out of here.
If the merger (buy out really) doesn’t happen and we wind up being bought by Frontier we will be DAMN GLAD this passed. It’ll at least keep us going until we can all get out of here.
But like the altitude above you, the runway behind you, the fuel you’ve already burned, etc., debate or rancor is irrelevant because this is now a done deal. Carping at one another no matter which side you were on is pretty fruitless, stupid, and unprofessional. Time to get unified for a JCBA, whoever it is with, and/or work on your apps for someplace you’d rather be. That would at least be a productive use of your time.
