our RSV kind of sucks, you guys have good work rules. You can drop to zero theoretically using PTO time and assuming the reserve staffing allows it (spoiler alert, not gonna happen). We don’t get compensated with High Fives but we do have a conversion factor for High Fives to Lift Awards. Don’t worry, your balance will carry over.

You realize if it happens a JCBA will have to be done. Hopefully cherry pick the best of both contracts. Spirit has some nice work rules, and jb has a few of their own as well.

Ugh. The union must have known about this. What a slap in the face. B6 pilots are going to be bent over in this deal. Spirit has been growing like crazy while we stagnated.
Gonna be junior to a a 3 year hire. Where did the money for this come from anyway. I thought we were struggling, what with our amazing CBA and all, I thought 3% was all they could find in the couch cushions...
"Organic growth." All new hires should get thier apps out there now because the stagnation this will bring will be the stuff of legends.

Exactly. Chimpy knows better, forgive him. He is just used to his dropping to nothing life up in ACY for the last decade.

United walks over to Frontier ... "we got this"
United buys JetBlue (cries to the government that they don't have enough pilots, gets JFK, DCA, FLL eliminates EWR competitor, etc)
Frontier merges with Spirit with cash and slots/ gates from United
In the end, Mesa buys everyone✌

What would it mean for JB and NK pilots such a merge? In terms of seniority and bases?
