People keep using the word “merger” and I see that as highly unlikely. Prepackaged BK and a 363 asset purchase is the way I see this going down. Sucks for NK but for our own long term viability this is the only thing that makes sense other than letting them die on the vine and maybe trying to scoop up a plane or slot or two.

Why do you think they turned down our most recent offer in Chapter 11? Because it made perfect sense for F9 and no sense to NK. We won’t do a deal that’s bad for us. The reason people keep talking about it is because it would be great to double the size of our pilot group and have some reasonable scale and share of the leisure market. They say two dead batteries still won’t start a car. That’s not true, you can take two batteries connect them in series and get ignition. That would be the goal with NK+F9, economy of scale. Of course we wouldn’t just assume their current operation it’s horrible, I we all hate mgmt but give them a shred of credit.

oh boy.

im sure your pedigree stems from the best minds of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.

Is Barry gonna call you to advise him when the next F9/NK merger is on the table? Your obvious business accounting and legal expertise makes you ideal.

Barry- “The merger is a go. Get taketheshot on the horn immediately. We need top men.”

acquisitions take many forms, after all. It’s all about renegotiating the debt. Make sure you tell him that.

No one knows what is happening.

That being said, I do believe in one thing, and that is that BF and friends wouldn't do a bad deal... Because they just don't. If they still want spirit, then there is a reason and that reason is making more money. If they dont buy them, then so be it.

I want us to be profitable and have a new contract, anything else is just extra.

i think the plan is to see if the company comes up with a counter to our recently "revised" proposal. If they do, we just keep grinding along. If they don't, we go to the NMB and start asking for more help and likely a status meeting.

Franke was spotted in FLL today 🤔. Probably nothing, keep telling yourselves he’s not interested.

They’re saying more bonuses for execs over there at NK.

just remember that when you get on your knees and open wide for Barry and his A321.

Pilot pay is what bankrupts the company.
