The nice thing is that once republic/frontier/midwest/lynx gets integrated you will have the most experienced pilots in the industry working with the union to form a contract. BB is no longer the CEO of a regional anymore, he will need to figure out a way to make this place more pleasant for his employees to have a good product. He has former CEO sean menke to maybe help him realize that, as menke once had a good airline with good morale. Hopeful thinking I know.
