Florida is junior for NK pilots, and that’s why a lot of people are still here/coming here.. could we consider FL to become very very senior with JetBlue?
Any speculation on seniority list integration is just that, speculation. No one knows how it will shake out. Spirit ALPA will advocate for Spirit pilots and JB ALPA will do the same for JB pilots and then an arbitrator will decide.
That will be the main driver and then any growth or contraction the combined company makes to the size of those bases or any other existing or new bases will play a factor as well.
