No idea how Spirt can even think no cost in labor increase for five years and making that public is remotely smart. Has stupid all over it.

Dragging this out may prove in the best interest of B6 and F9 in that it takes out a competitor but it will be ruinous for stockholders and employees that stay.

Nk get stuck in regulatory/litigation hell for 18-24 months, not being able to execute its growth initiatives, and long term strategic plans it’ll severely damage spirit. One article mentioned a ‘Brain drain.’ Hard enough to recruit as it is, but certainly who’s gonna come to a company who’s future is up in the air? In the end if the deal falls apart, . Either from a financing standpoint or regulatory approval issue, Robin says ‘here’s your 200 Millon sorry it didn’t workout … ‘ a mere pittance to kneecap a competitor.. but he’s doing it all in the shareholders best interest .. no really .. if if passes in 2 years here’s your $30… if it doesn’t, so sorry .

I wouldn’t be shocked if Robin doesn’t approach SPA with some sort of side letter. Bringing their pay to current B6 rates by a certain date for their support.

I wouldn’t be surprised if every airline is bankrupt in one year if this monkey pox starts shutting down the global economy. Round 2 here we go.
