Yes. Really. Want nothing to do with DUI Doug and his business.

Just the "y'all" with common sense. The last thing this pilot group should want is a merger with anyone.

Can you imagine the seniority list integration? It would only benefit the guys who have very little seniority as they wouldn’t lose anything.

Most of us are proud of the airline we are building. 20 years from now we will be huge if left alone.

TWA isn’t a good example as it was a complete screwjob and laws came as a result of it. I’m sure there’s pride in the employer and what you are building. We were too at red tail, then a smiling Eskimo came. Pilots have no say in mergers but they happen and seem like will continue to happen. Would you agree the 6 unmerged airlines (Hawaiian, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, jetBlue, Sun Country) are prime candidates? When it happens, I guess the question is big 4 or one of these other LCCs. As for the SLI, the separate AWA list did just fine in the end with AA. Plus, 8400 mandatory gone in 10 yrs out of 14,000. How bad can a SLI be when 8400+ are gone?


Could make money if you guess right. Whoever owned VX stock got a decent pay day. Guessing game between the remaining 6 airlines now in terms of stock.

I'll raise my glass to that!

Lots of growing pains which are natural with a young and maturing company in any industry.

I wish more folks would understand any merger is going to suck for this group.

Until we have a major recession and furlough 25% of the list again, or until God forbid we have a crash. Imagine how big we’d be if we merged with the worlds largest airline?
