Let’s say the merger goes through. Do you guys think that MCO and FLL will probably become super senior, and most of the people that are based there with spirit, will eventually get bumped out? I heard for JBU MCO FO is 6+ years .. and captains 13+ years.. I know they might do a seat lock for 2 or more years, but isn’t it concerning for people that live in Florida? Florida is junior for NK pilots, and that’s why a lot of people are still there/going there.. could we consider FL to become very very senior with the merger, or the expectation will be to become a little less senior, since if the merger goes through, they will become bigger bases?

I also just finished recurrent. Leadership luncheon also threw our rumor of possibly moving up to 100 crews worth of flying from JFK/BOS to MCO/FLL. I don’t see that happening either.

The recent agreement with the state of FL talked about adding jobs, so maybe that’s a part of it. Really I could see a lot of operational staff currently in LSC being moved to FLL/MCO.

They had that chance when the building lease for LSC came to be renewed and there was a lot of talk and offers from FL to move operations. As usual, having “New York’s airline” painted on a plane and some jet bridges was much more important than way less taxes, people working in operations actually being able to buy something with their salary and better QOL, and a much happier and efficient work force.
