This is my struggle. I will never be as senior as I am now if I leave which means my QOL will never be as good.
However, if the merger doesn’t go through and we file bankruptcy, and/or shrink to profitability, or change trip mix my QOL will suffer greatly as well due to force reductions (backwards seniority movement) and major changes to trip mix from pulling out of many makets(current contract does not protect trip mix).
Also include the fact that we will never make more money. Frontier and Allegiant are never getting more money. Never. We will be the same because there will be no way to grow with this business model. So we will shrink and maintain kind of like Allegiant. How does that look at the top of the seniority list? Anyone’s guess for QOL but more money will never happen as inflation eats you up until retirement.
Bankruptcy contract? That’s when we get to see how weak or strong we are as a group. More money will never happen regardless Of bankruptcy filling but less money is the unknown.
