Quality of Life from our transparent company. Maybe someone should bring that up at a Pocket a Session or ELT pizza party.

I’m not savvy enough with excel or I would give it a shot.
The one we have access to from the company isn’t really that great and you have to be on a company computer to get it to work.

I’m not sure where the #5 narrowbody pilot is at United but I would venture to guess it’s actually not very senior. With the number of wide bodies they have narrow body goes pretty junior.
With all that said if we merge with United within a few years I guarantee I wouldn’t be driving to work anymore and that alone is worth not merging for me. I want no part of ANY merger. Just continued steady growth here please. Not sure how realistic that is, but that is my preference.

Wide body captain falls around 25% systemwide (currently most junior pilot holding captain on current open vacancy bid is number 4,000 overall) seniority but with all the wide body aircraft being delivered next year, it gives a super conservative estimate of one’s ability to hold that seat.

Although we are larger than AirTran was when they were acquired.
How was the AirTran deal structured? Was it a purchase or a merger. I can’t remember. Purchase under Guadalupe right?

How about we just let the chips lie where they fall.
Which this merger stuff would stop. The only ones who truly make out are a handful of the people at the top (management) and the boards.
Wall Str to a point too..
enough already (hopefully)

Although I agree, I think the legacy airlines better pray there are more mergers ahead. It’s either that or they shrink into looking like Europe.

I'll assume, based on your screen name, that you're an F9 pilot. Do you think that the average pilot with a 4 year college degree would rather be hired at F9 or American/Delta/Southwest/United?

I’m betting its the same at Delta, SW, and American.
