What else can it be? Watch the MEC video sent yesterday. Pulling back & handing your competitors your market share? Makes you more attractive for a buyout so brad & ben can get their parachutes.
Thoughts?

Though the same thing, unfortunately. I have no clue what B & B are doing.

Armchair Quarterbacks... I honestly think B and B are playing an incredible hand of poker. I think the outcome might just surprise you. Fly the jet and enjoy.
On the other hand CY an JW looked pretty silly in there little claim to video fame. I don’t think I have ever listened to more words that told me nothing... I think those faces should stick to radio. That was embarrassing!

Seems like the talk of buyouts and future mergers are mostly confined to the Alaska forum, don’t see anything else other than a JetBlue and frontier thread anywhere. Makes me think the talk of a new buyout / merger is mostly hopeful thinking by a lot of us, at least at this point.

I think B&B are on track to sell out. I'm thinking Delta.

Let’s see. They lost 1/2 the stock value, albeit it’s come back a little. They overpaid for VX and didn’t/haven’t capatlized on the synergies, or at least figure out how to. The arbitrators surprised them with an increase cost in pilot payroll, which I’m thinking they weren’t prepared for. DL’s closing in on the PNW market. WN will eat at the Hawaiian profits. How does B&B fix/save this? Or do they sell out to get the most money?

are we getting married? Seems like we are getting married to our brother's ex wife. Likely Y'all feel the same, except the virgin guys, who get their east coast flying back.
think it makes sense, actually. Don't really care except for 2 items:
1) we fix your dumpster fire that is your scope clause. Our's is zero scope. No jetblue express period. Hope no bluelaska scope allowances either. FYI I'm a 10 year regional refugee. I don't dislike regional guys, I just want all our flying to be in house.
2) Since pilots are stupid, arrogant, and self entitled, I have to say this: whoever wears the first, "hired, not acquired" lanyard gets a round house kick in the nuts. Don't care if it us, Virgin dudes, or Alaska dudes. F that. We are all in this as one group (should this arranged and forced marriage happen) Don't be douches to other Pilots. Ever.
