Essentially priced themselves out of a job. Of course, there are always other factors in the failure of an airline but if F9 buys NK, it will be worse.
I agree, but in all reality why would we accept less for doing the same job as everyone else? I’d pose the question of how would you feel if the company decided after we accepted less to pivot to a different model? Last I checked we are held to the same regs so in all reality we do the same job and arguably with less resources….
just food for thought. I am not in disagreement with you about NK and how that’s all gone down but that was also a lot of mismanagement and failure to accept the changing industry. Pretty much what we are dealing with now and trying to navigate our way through. Spirit also has the engine issues. So it was a bit of sh!t luck too.
I am not sure why guys are pushing this agenda of F9/NK merger to save the day. We can’t figure out our own issues adding a failing airline to the mix of what we already have isn’t going to be the magical answer. But hey what do I know I’m just a pilot who flys from point A to point B.
