That's called an ESOP. Ask some UAL guys from that time what they think of it.

Sure, overall seniority would take a hit, but I’m not so sure about in-base seniority for East Coast domiciles.

True, the WB career expectations for AS vs JB would be drastically different but you’re right the east coast would likely see little change in terms of AS guys jumping in.

I don't see how JB can jump into that agreement. Maybe in 3yrs when AS/HA have sorted it out, but I dont see this as possible anytime soon.

Seriously, What world are you all living in? You need to come back to reality, Carl Icahn is not your friend. He strips company's of all its value and then casts them aside. Trust me I have delt with this raider. He is a brutal man to deal with, and a leopard doesn't changes his spots.

Sure, I agree. He’s the devil, but that doesn’t change anything with AS/HA. We can’t just jump into their merger agreement

Icahn will get kicked out but only after he destroys JetBlue for pennies on the dollar.

You say that as if you are certain that’s what’s going to happen. None of us have a clue what his plans are.

Well they sure aren't "give all the pilots bubblegum and coupons to bennigans."

His plans are almost certainly bad. That said, he's taken his money and run elsewhere. If we can get our ___ together and actually run a money-making operation, then he def has more of a chance of doing that. If we don't, then our stock will continue to be in the toilet, he'll buy more of it, and he'll part us out. Frankly, this is what happens when you run a garbage operation and let your stock fall to 3$.

I agree that we have to get it together, all the excuses of atc and nyc need to stop. And yes, this is what happens when the sp is in the toilet and it’s a direct result of the BoD and everyone else running amuck of an operation. We were profitable before covid so I’m confident we can get there again.
