What’s your opinion of things if the merger is not approved? My guess is if we stave off bankruptcy we will shrink a ton (backward seniority) with massive attrition and languish in mediocrity like Allegiant forever.
I think if the merger is not approved, NK goes into cost savings mode and looks for another buyer. Ted has been trying to sell since 2017/2016, the Board clearly wants this and I would assume another buyer would be found. This current DOJ might be out in 1 year anyways, so a new administration might not have the same roadblocks up. And then there is always F9 and Franke...
One thing I know is bottom of any seniorty list is not where I want to be. We all know this industry is up/down, wash rinse and repeat; I worry about what I can control and thats about it. If anyone thinks pilot pay is going to just go up and up, without and reversal, they have not been paying attention the last 40+ years. This career has always been the illusion of stability with the present reality of how cruel it can be to some; personally I wish I would have taken a different career path 20 years ago, but it is what it is. I control what I can and thats about it
