Wrong, we’ve rejected an offer. B6ALPA thought we were crazy for doing so.

Slim chance the DOJ succeeds. Almost zero chance. Follow the money.

Then JB did it anyways and we caved in the very next vote. JB pilots don't have the intestinal fortitude to hold themselves up to their true value. And JB management knows it. They can hold their hard line. Our NC does what they believe is their best, then the MEC passes the buck to the pilot group and we vote in whatever they send us. Every time. Is what it is.

This is another case to be made for this merger. Both these companies as separate entities are struggling to grow and compete. That’s just the reality of the industry right now. Without this acquisition, JB will still be around, but it won’t be pretty. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. They’ve hitched their entire growth strategy to this wagon. We’d probably end up shrinking, and the whole thing will end up costing us a fortune.

Meh, something else I have zero control over. My only choice is to try and ride this thing out or jump ship asap.
