Nobody knows the future, but my prediction (yes it is fun to go to a gypsy and see what the crystal ball says) and mine says a NK acquisition by Feb. F9 will trade stock in new company for right off most debt, and maybe a $400 mil cash payment.
With pilots taking a pay cut expect to see a joint offer of only a 25% increase bringing top pay to around $335. Will have a pass rate of 60% as most jr folks don't care about company long term, and just want raise now and signing bonus as they plan to lease ASAP anyway.
Yes my prediction could be as crazy as a FA wearing a mask, but who know.
f9 and Spirit is not gonna happen.
I think what’s likely to happen going forward is the same %25-40 total increase over a five year period about 9-12 months out from today.
minor changes to the carrier to “compete” we don’t have 400 million. We took out loans for the deliveries. We cannot afford retro pay. I expect $25-50,000 signing bonus when that contract goes in where the 50,000 is for the most senior pilots.
Dempsey is the new ceo. Indigo isn’t going to shake things up. They hand picked everyone so far. Maybe Barry got in trouble because he said we were gonna get WiFi and that wasn’t approved by Franke.
