Post-F9/NK Merger Announcement Attrition
How’s it going in Frontier world?
It’s hard to say if attrition has actually increased at Spirit just yet, but anecdotally, we have a lot of people putting applications out that were otherwise staying at Spirit pre-merger announcement.

I’m curious how they rationalize a merger to being the catalyst.

I’ve had it the exact opposite. Guys that I’ve flown with getting their apps out now want to see how this plays out. On another note, Spirit can’t be that desperate. They just turned down two guys I know with 121 PIC time and over 5000 hours.

The merger accelerates the next contract. They can't merge the groups without a joint contract. And this time we will be the 3rd biggest ALPA carrier. Expect a better contract sooner
