Contracts aside... I agree, while none of us wish the other a bad merger...there are things in our book that you don’t like and vice versa... all that aside...it’s a monstrous powerhouse airline overnight (provided both NK and B6 management are shown the door)

Had a newer guy in my jumpseat at AA who was hired from Spirit.

Would not be at all surprise this becomes more common as the experienced Captains at the regionals become more scarce and the hiring with the big 6 ramps up.

Frontier guy here. I'm just curious why your management has been confirmed to be in and out of our headquarters for the last few weeks. I don't think we'll merge, but does anyone have any idea what they could be discussing?

I'm thinking Flight Attendant training, use of Sims, or something along those lines.

No clue. With our basic economy announcement, I wouldn't ever say never to a merger.

The most likely outcomes, however, are use of Sims, buying some A320 aircraft orders, etc.

Looking to move the JFK herb garden to DEN due to air quality. I heard the negotiations are very contentious.

This statement always pops up here or there during these rumors... honestly even if I saw them with my own eyes and knew exactly who I was looking at and there’s no way I’d ever know who that guy in a polo or suit was anyhow.... I still wouldn’t believe it.

Potatoes are native to the Andes, so yes!
