I mean, I think it’ll get approved in the long run. What we’ll have to give in return remains to be seen. The DOT publicly considering blocking the transfer of Spirit’s certificate to us is absolutely ridiculous.

Nonetheless, it makes it very difficult to justify in court. And as for the DOT threat to stop transfer of the certificate, the Supreme Court is already gunning for a case to reverse the Chevron deference doctrine. This will be a perfect opportunity. Jet Blue ought to appeal for a restraining order on DOT immediately. This woukd be a real opportunity to rein in reckless executive branch conduct.

Hope it goes through, I don't think JB will survive without the merger... Just the cost to fight this for years is going to be decimating.

If you think it’s bad over at JB you should see us here at NK, can’t keep new hires (or old hires) and haven’t made a profit since before Covid, at least you have figured out how to make money our management can’t/doesn’t care.

fascinating . The airline with almost 2B in cash post Covid, and 10B in assets will tank on some legal fees? Tell me more….

*sell job sell job sell job because FEAR!!!*

ALPA will fold for a crappy LOA because there will be fear of the arbitrator, or fear of force majeure, or some other reason B6ALPA will spew to justify folding like the wet noodle they are, but they will be sure to get them next time. They have as much spine as a jellyfish.

Sadly B6ALPA simply reflects our pilot group. Fold, fear, wet noodle, jellyfish...those words can describe our group as well. We certainly need stronger leadership (no question) but it's our peers who have yet to reject a company offer.
