Hasn't that been the case since 2001 when the last Self Help Unicorn was ever seen? I'll let you in on a secret, Self Help Unicorns are extinct, and if 165/169 leadership is trying to sell you one of those Unicorns, you've been duped.
Polar struck in 2005 and Spirit in 2010, so Comair wasn’t the last to exercise self help. It’s rare and I’d agree that there would be an immediate PEB if a legacy tried to strike, but it is still a possibility for smaller companies like Frontier with a low market share since a strike would be far less disruptive.
