Well, they better hope it happens cause if they think the largest pilot in ALPA history won’t produce a strike vote in the affirmative, that would be an epic miscalculation. And unlike say when Eastern did it, good luck finding current and qualified scab 737/Airbus drivers to cross the picket….. except for Bob of course…. Flying his ANC turns…. Solo.

After thinking about it this makes very little sense.
if alaska is doing the offer to acquire JetBlue…
jetblue, according to you, is not willing to negotiate headquarters outside of nyc and a maintaining of their executives. So alaska is willing to part with all of that now?
if JetBlue is going to attempt to acquire as.. why go through all the trouble to pretend to acquire spirit.
makes no sense. A three way linkup between as/JetBlue/spirit would never be approved. JetBlue/spirit likely will never be approved. Alaska has a better shot of doj approval..but based on JetBlue wants and how little alaska likes to budge on their brand identity/ control, I don’t ever see a merger happening (even though route structure wise it makes the most sense).
obviously JetBlue and spirit merged probably is a death blow to alaska.. so maybe in light of this they are willing to give up their “non-negotiable” items. That just doesn’t strike me as the alaska way though
