I don't believe indigo will fold until they're forced to... I also believe we'll get released eventually and get a TA at 23:59:59 on the 29th day of the cooling off period...
IF we went on strike, this place would be out of business if the strike lasted longer than a week or two... if you can't support yourself without a paycheck for 2 weeks, your financial situation should probably be your top priority...
Our demands are reasonable and the NMB seems to think we're doing everything the right way... this is my opinion and I just don't see a scenario where it ever comes down to a strike

If you can't work with a guy for a rotation, no need to hire them. I think they do an excellent job on their screening. Frontier has an excellent pilot group, and they are the reason why. Let them do their job.

Not even the Big 3 can fix what you got. I hope you get there, but a attitude change would be a tremendous help in accomplishing that.
I was just simply stating they are doing the best they can to screen people.
Geez

Is F9 too large to strike ? No
Has Indigo forced self-help in the past ? Yes
The only debt you should have ideally is your Mortgage on the house. The rest should be payed off and at LEAST a month's expenses put away in savings in cash.

I think he was implying that Frontier probably won't burn themselves twice with a strike, not that we would be unable to force one via the RLA process.
I also believe it is unlikely, even though it would only be Indigo history repeating itself. I think it is highly likely negotiations will go to the final day(s) of a cooling off period.

We operate 280 daily flights... lets say we sell an average of 180 seats per flight (a mix of 319, 320 and 321)... I read the average frontier fare is $115 but that seems to be on the low end... multiply that all together and they'd be losing $5.5M a day on fares alone... they still have to pay for gates, landing fees, keeping the lights on... and they have more expenses I can't even begin to imagine... a bank doesn't throw away north of $7M a day because they hate their labor that much...
I think we will get released... and I think we'll get a TA at the last minute before a strike happens... I'm not really sure what substantial progress is in the NMB's eyes but 3 days spent on 100% dh pay and not having to call the company after being bought off for OE doesn't seem like "substantial progress" to me
