The closest I ever heard was vague corporate speak. He came and did his little Q&A during the wing dinner during ground school. Of course someone asked about spirit, something about mergers, I don’t remember exactly what. But in typical corporatespeak, he gave a non-answer to the tune of “the company is always looking at blah blah blah and indigo is looking at investment opportunities blah blah.” Imagine any CEO or chairman at a quarterly investor meeting. Clear as mud, so it could easily be interpreted as doubleplusgood or doubleplusungood. Oceania has always sought merger with Eurasia! Oceania has always sought merger with Eastasia!

But also, it could be because he knows we are about to be bought by AA!

Well, once again, I was actually in a recent class and he said no such thing. Just vague non-answers you could interpret one way or the other, if you were so inclined to search for a bias. They’re not revealing corporate secrets and strategy in new hire classes.

I would suspect it’s just to get people on the fence to hang on just a little while longer until a new contract negotiation begins. After all why would you leave here with anything over a year seniority just to start over at a company that might buy us when you could have retained that relative seniority? Clever, like the bonus, but it’s just to buy time is my guess.
I still think something big will happen this year but it will be more like a regional collapses or regionals end up on their legacy SL or something of the sort. Their turnover and assets sitting in the ground are stunning.
