As a life long commuter it really doesn’t bother me. Getting a real place in domicile is key. If you can do 20 plus credit in 3 days then have 4 off who cares? It’s better than 4 on 3 off. If you make the most of your time away from work during those 3 days in domicile it’s better than a hotel on a trip.

If I learned anything since being here, those talks with executives in ground school are HIGHLY subject to change.

I know you're joking, but the only way you are "merging" with Allegiant is if Indigo sells you to Allegiant. That's called an acquisition, not a merger. By the way, we are Teamsters, not ALPA.
Our stock price is currently $156, and the founder owns ~25% of it, so anyone hoping to buy us would have to come up with a huge premium above that already overvalued price. However, Allegiant has been wide open that they are flush with cash, and on the prowl for bargains. They made money all summer because of the CARES. Doubled their cash position. Now bragging they are cash neutral to slightly profitable.
I think if anything, they will make a play for American or its assets when they go bankrupt, and if that doesn't happen, try to buy out Frontier. Whether Frontier gets assimilated or dissolved in that situation, nobody could guess.
Or, the most likely option, Allegiant will continue to ignore all competition and industry norms, and continue to run their rusty 20 year old playbook of flying big planes to places nobody lives at , and still filling them up. Either way, it's very unlikely anyone is merging with or buying Allegiant.
Back to the topic, I wouldn't be surprised to see Frontier wade into already saturated markets like TPA/PIE, RSW/PGD, or PHX/IWA that we already serve. It kind of seems to be their thing to eat the leftovers.

This guy just coming in looking for a fight. How about you guys just finish your failed resort first before you buy Frontier.

...Allegiant buying American!? Holy margarita induced hope Batman! Acquiring some of their old, clapped out 319s to continue your service to exciting and popular destinations such as Billings, MT and Peoria, IL? Sure. (pro tip: the FBO at PIA has free popcorn). In the meantime, we’ll continue to triple our fleet size, to include long range narrow bodies, and expand to destinations like St. Thomas, Cozumel and places in Central America. Speaking of long range narrow bodies... Remember when you guys tried to play around with 757s? That ended about as well as pulling a fire alarm in a nursing home.
