Florida bases?- more thirsty JB pilots

Quick upgrade in Florida bases? Lolz

QOL?- not after you find yourself below all those young, thirsty, JB pilots

First to profitability?- how’s that going? You guys gonna be profitable Q1 this year after last years ugly numbers?

Base stability?- We’ll see after JB is done with you.

Pay rates?- You’re still lagging. There’s nothing amazing at what they offered you after you’re new LOA.

An amazing JCBA with JB?- Sure. Why wait around for god knows how long (2-5 years prob) for some potential great CBA when you can go to a legacy with massive retirements, better CBAs already, and WB Flying.

New hires/recent hires look at spirit and JB and see an uncertain SLI, stolen seniority, and a very uncertain future. Why give up the greatest hiring wave in generations to wait around for Spirit/JB?
