And Spirit will have 5 BOD seats at the post merger F9. But they voted 9-0 in favor ? Why then did the 4 who are left with no board seat still vote no?

On the call Spirit CEO mentioned how the pilots will benefit for more QOL thanks to more bases. He mentioned zero about pay parity. You would think Spirit pilots would pefer to sit and the table next to JBU.

I haven’t voted yet, but his denial or outright rejection on the circumstances around pilot retention are steering me in a certain direction…

Both F9 and NK are tough partners when it comes to the negotiating. No secret there. Sometimes the devil you know is better than the one you don’t..

The tales we tell ourselves to suit the narrative we are most comfortable with is ingrained in the human psyche.
How do you know the spirit guys are telling the truth?

This.
Any pilot knows it’s management so obviously both sides are lying
