It is my thought process that F9 might just stop operating before we get a contract. Every quarter, the available "cash" is less and less.

F9 doesn’t own anything. Just sell off remaining aircraft orders, pack it up and shut it down. The airline is designed to be packed up quickly.

Absolutely! I remember all the lessons in business school about making sure your business plans always involve designing the business to be able to pack up quickly.

Classic business plan stuff

IDK about everyone else. But I’ve already started robbing the snack carts of all available “Griz Snack Packs” “Little Bear Bites” and Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

If we’re going under next quarter, imma burn this mother f ucker down.

What about the unrefrigerated cheese? I'm still not sure about that.

im only jacking the high value items. When I have excess room in my roller board I start working my way down the snack carts from most expensive to least expensive.

Liquor first. Then food.


Nor do I care about the looks of horror the flight attendants give me. I tell them to dig in too. This place has only got a few months left.

You really have to take a vacation man. Ive seen your name around and just checked your profile. Literally all of your posts are basically panhandling that the world is about to end as we know it.

If you’ve been here long enough you know that this isn’t frontiers first rodeo.

Looking at the earnings report and data, we are very far from Spirits position, furloughs, or Bankrupcy.
Not to mention, in order for the company to even consider those things, the contract protects us with early retirements and a few more stipulations that have yet to be seen.

Fear is extremely contagious, just because Spirit managed their debt poorly and are going through bankruptcy does not mean thats the same fate for Frontier.

RELAX

Comical the way pilots actively vote politically against their own interests and then wonder why their unions are so weak and the company has all the power.
