By blatant I mean turning away equally qualified applicants from other airlines in favor of the target company's employees.

Previously you could have the SLI before the JCBA. They saw how that turned out, now it’s required to have the JCBA prior to any Joint seniority list. Now you can’t hold the JCBA hostage because one side didn’t like the seniority integration

That's a lot of coin.

A combined Frontier/Spirit will be tough competition for the big 4 airlines. Over the last 10 years, market share of the big 4 dropped from close to 85% to below 75%. With international travel slow to recover, and with business travel that may never return to 2019 levels, I see this merger accelerating that trend.
I honestly see this as neutral or even a positive to the other low fare airlines (Allegiant, Breeze, Avelo), similar to the growth of Frontier and Spirit over the past 10 years.
