With a $3 million holdback daily with the CC stuff yeah not a good situation to put ourselves in when we lost $70 million last quarter and have issues to figure out as well.
I’m not quite sure why guys are hellbent to this thing happening. Sitting here saying oh this would be great… Really? Explain to me how the seniority will go, or how in the world we would pay the debt even if we got it restructured. All while currently trying to get paid with our new proposal. While I feel for my buddies at NK I’m not one to push an acquisition by F9 it makes ZERO sense right now. We can’t hardly get out of our own way to make this place run let’s add some more bull to the mix maybe that’ll fix it. SMH
I agree this looks like it would be very bad deal for Frontier. The only way I can see Frontier and Spirit getting together now is either Spirit emerges from Ch. 11 with cleaner books or we get parts of them.
Seniority wouldn’t be a problem for anybody but Spirit pilots. While date of hire may help them relative seniority and career progression would crush their integration. Last I read was most junior captain will be a 2018 hire and most junior on the list will be 2023. Total bummer for that team.
