Unsure about these mergers, but one difference with the Republic/Midwest merger is that we were in contract negotiations and your pilots were unfurloughed just months ago to replace us.
TPG/BB tried to get Midwest pilots to agree to a new low in E190 wages before moving forward with the merger. They were trying to whipsaw Midwest against Republic.
After the Midwest E190 negotiations failed. TPG/BB moved to save on training costs before the merger.
This merger has been in the works for almost a year.
