I feel the combined company will make money. Probably allot of it. Looking over the fence at all other ULCCs I feel very good about our future. Sad to see this thread go to archives but looking forward to a larger operation with larger operation efficiencies. Our small company put ALLOT on captain’s to make the operation flow. I remember one time in Sanford we had a burnt out bulb. Downed us. No, G4 wouldn’t help. We ripped the cockpit apart until we found a bulb that would work and that location could be MEL’d. I won’t miss those days.
Currently giving zero thought to JCBAs & SLIs. Who’s to say I’ll even have a medical when those come to pass years down the road. I’m sure we’ll do fine with them. Our new company needs us combined to realize the profits from this marriage.
I suppose your question ultimately comes down to age. If young you should always weigh a promotion or raise. Always.
If you’re stuck or choose here, as I view it, you’ll make more money than you’ll ever need. At a healthy company. How you spend or invest said money will define your wealth.

I’ll gladly cash my paycheck from G4.
