This is a tough question. I would love to become a little smarter on this matter and argue an intelligent position, and beat this guy at his own game.
Lastly, I am new to this forum. I am not looking to get (flames?) from anyone. Thank you again for taking the time to give your opinion.
Respectfully from the new guy,
Aloha
I'm a little curious who you work for. If it is one of the three companies mentioned above, I would recommend you discuss the issue with one of the other 700+ pilots you work with. If not I would say that this is not the best forum to get a factual information. You will get the whole spectrum of opinions however.
The truth is nothing has been settled with the Frontier/Midwest/Republic/Lynx integration. Until then, it's just a wild guess. As a Frontier pilot, I was a bit insulted by the Southwest offer. From speaking to some friends at Southwest, I would say they were a bit stunned (and insulted) by Frontier's rejection of their offer. Just my take on the situation.
