Average Age
 
With all of the current merger/acquisition talk over here at Purple I have a genuine question. How would an SLI look between purple and Atlas? We are an older airline, what is the average age of an Atlas guy/gal?

The last merger at Atlas was based on DOH.

That is correct.
Some have aged better than others.

Don’t you worry. JD will make sure you guys get stapled to the bottom of his baby’s list.

But seriously, an SLI will probably go by the tremendous amount of regulation on the subject. It’ll be more or less 1:1 which, at worst, means a few Atlas alumni find themselves junior to themselves (had they stayed).

None of this is likely to happen so I wouldn’t worry about it.

Appreciate the replies. I think there's a strong case thats what fedex's vision for growth is. Just having a sidebar with a few buddies and we were curious the average age over there. Trying to plot out how it would all shake out. Still trying to figure out the whole amalgamation piece and determine if thats a threat or not.

Wait, is there a real possibility of Fedex and Atlas merging? Like, are there real, verified talks going on?

No. There are no talks of a merger. This is all wild speculation.
