We rejected 2%, but settled for 3% 😂

That's a 50% increase in the raise!

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

You don't have control over writing posts that the Spirit merger committee can use to make their arguments? 😂

Kidding, mostly.

“Jetblue pilots expect to get 300 widebodies by 2025.”

There… I just improved our chances in the SLI. Someone’s going to read that and decide Spirit deserves to get stapled at best.

As important as I seem, I’m not so sure Roy Biggins’ APC opinions carry that much weight. 😃

Was a 50% increase to the original deal. High fives were given all around and CK was carried on shoulders as a hero. 🙄🙄

Despite the DOJ’s opposition to it, looks like the case has been assigned to a Reagan judge appointee. Chances of DOJ’s arguments holding up in court is getting slimmer.

Except now the Pete Buttigieg is saying the DOT/FAA won’t transfer the Spirit operating certificate over, so those planes can be owned by JB, but can’t be merged. Kinda defeats the purpose to run separate airlines with separate employee groups, don’t you think?
