Now if Wallstreet wants a merger between the two of us then it’ll be nice flying with you guys.
Sorry for being cranky, but I’ve had multiple JetBlue pilots at ALPA events ask me how long I’ve been at UAL after discussing how we’re merging.
I’m not trying to convince United pilots that it’s a good idea. I’m just saying that it is probably not as simple as some make it out to be. There are many factors besides “JB has too much debt” or integration costs. It will be nice flying with you too, I’m looking forward to it
