Kool-aid ? Haha believe me we have our issues and are in for a fight. Which is probably why we feel
so close to our friends at Spirit. We’re loosing one a day or so. Guessing similar numbers at spirit, ak, wn etc etc. Wheels are about to come off which is why our unity moving forward is so important.

But a few of my blue friends need to have a blue-tini and get over the break up. Starting to sound like a drunk white girl in the bar you told 12 times it’s over.

Jetblue.. F9.. XYZ… we’re all in this together. We need to fight for better contracts and the time is now. Meanwhile don’t let the clown show at work drive you nuts boys. Different paint scheme, nicer product (JetBlue), but ultimately same sht different day

I brought up the (rhetorical) question because all I see/hear these days (on forums and IRL) is unicorns and rainbows about how good F9+NK are and are going to be after the merger, when their attrition rates are higher per capita than other majors. If QOL and pay is so great at F9/NK, and will be even greater with F9NK, and the combined airline will take over the world and continue to grow bigly and fastly, then why is attrition still so high? That’s my point…which is completely irrelevant to B6 attrition/issues.

what an amazing company. They apparently will always win. If they merge they will be a super ulcc and crush everyone. If they don’t merge they will become a super ulcc and crush everyone. Nothing can stop that animal nothing. Obviously JetBlue will be gone shortly. Need to update the logbook
We better get our apps in before the UAL and FedEx pilots start flooding Frontier with resumes.

My humble opinion everyone tries to defend where they’re at trying to be optimistic about their career. A defense mechanism because we all know we control little to nothing.

Delta pilots will say how superior their company is with great examples. United will flaunt how many wide bodies they have. AA will say they’re too big to fail. WN will talk about culture and profitability, JetBlue about their product, spirit and frontier about the ULCC dominance and growth.

Really we are all just hoping those things catch on and our livelihood is protected for however many years we have left. With how things swing we really just don’t know. Belittling other companies or their pilots is ignorant at best since we really don’t know what will happen in a few months. I for one would have never guessed JetBlue would be interested in such a different product.

This is the truest thing on APC.

We will know soon enough, as I believe the investors will be filing lawsuits. They turned down over 30% in a year where nobody is going to make 30%.
30% of what?
That 30% depends on your entry price. I bet majority of those investors did not invest the day the JB offer was made. Given the past performance of SAVE stock, I bet a lot of them were losing money with that 30% premium.
