Default Next Merger?

Hearing some strong rumors in my crash pad here in SEA that we are in the process of purchasing another airline...anyone else heard this yet? Seem to be some credible information behind it..

If true, can't be good for our JCBA timeline negotiations....

AS buying another airline soon?! Wow I can't see that. They blew 4billion on VX. Maybe a merger with JB or SW? Whatever happens it will be the last thing we think of and we will be the last ones to know. JB makes sense because of the route structures. SW makes sense all 737 and they want the etops and Hawaii markets badly. Who knows.. that being said it'll probably be sun country !

There was a strong rumor in my crash pad that the dude in bunk #1 ate the leftover pizza belonging to the dude in bunk #4!! Ended up being overshadowed by the BiG announcement that was apparently coming from corporate about a merger. That ended up actually being an announcement regarding an updated software approval for iPads!

Start a thread with "hearing some strong rumors in my crashpad..." and be prepared for ridicule. Btw...I was the one that ate the pizza and I'm in bunk #5 💩😏

It's all true... saw GK in Sea the other day so the merger with SWA must be inevitable.

We will have a JCBA in October, SLI well that may be a different story.

I heard Sun Country higher up's where in Seattle last week. If it would drag out negotiations it might be worth it to buy Sun Country. The longer management doesn't have to pay market rates the better for them.

They can't drag it out... We go to arbitration August 28th. If they buy someone else and they are Alpa then there would then be another TPA and JCBA timeline for that merger. Alaska management will have to pay up in 4 mos no matter what else they do or don't do in the future.

That's what I meant about dragging it out.
