I think this may be the reason that management is stalling. I won't be sad wearing blues.

The rest is a game. To their dentriment they're not a get out in front of it management team. You would think they would be after being served a strike previously.

They will only cost themselves more in the long run. Three months ago if they had offered B6 pay I bet the group would have approved and moved on, 160 to 208 is a healthy raise.
Now, it's nothing less than Allegiant, next Spirit and JetBlue will have contracts. Then the stakes will be higher and it will cost this management team more.

Until then it's just a game guys. Let the union fill the right squares so we can strike, be prepared to strike.
Until then do the best you can at your job.

But that isn't what Indigo does. As one Captain put it to me: They don't restructure airlines to sell them to other airlines for a "reasonable price." They restructure airlines to IPO them for an "unreasonable price."

His take made sense to me. JB - or any airline - would want a good deal, and we would cost way too much.

Thoughts?

B6 couldn't afford Virgin.

Management is stalling because that's what management has done at damn near every airline in existence at contract time.
They stalled the Spirit boys right up to a strike and not one that just lasted 24 hr.
Be prepared to strike.

They offered almost $2.5 billion for virgin... We have 300 more pilots and are projected to have 40-50 more airplanes than virgin... They'd pony up more for us and they would more than double their west coast routing... I'd bet a couple pay checks it's gonna be going down

And indigo is in the business of doing whatever makes them the most money... A 3000% return on investment would be pretty good

Are those pre or post contract checks your offering up based on the rumor B6 folks were at HQ?

I'll bet you a steak dinner just for fun that it doesn't happen. Nevertheless stranger things have happened.
Did you here Atlas was looking at us also?

Here's a good read for everyone on B6.
