Extreme statements that are yours, and weren't made by me, don't help you make your point.
We ALL want schedule flexibility when something changes. We also know that the trips sitting in open time are most likely not going to be the "cream of the crop". Otherwise someone else with similar preferences would have traded for it. There are commuters and there are locals. Some trips are just gross for both groups... But when you need to swap, you need to swap.
And to the fella who had to bring up "being drunk on profit sharing", we already did most of the heavy lifting for you. You were worried we wanted to trade DTZ or Green Grid rules for profit sharing, even though literally no one said as much. Well, you have been proven wrong already, as we achieved the biggest part of the profit sharing improvement already, as well as creating a new FLOOR for pay and retirement in the JCBA.

That's a decent point. The Spirit group is worried about the JetBlue group selling out items on the JCBA but our union is already scoring Ws for us behind the scenes. Our newest LOA significantly closed the gap between us and the legacies, and somewhat widened the gap (at least in pay) between B6 and NK. I am not aware of any related heavy lifting going on at NK, but I don't keep up with all the news. Have I missed any developments on the NK side of the table or?
