Interesting that your new order is set for 2021. So is ours at Frontier. 134 aircraft beginning 2021. Let’s say you order another 100-150 aircraft. 177 in 2021 and 250-300 by 2026. So maybe a merger with Frontier in 2021 after your order is locked in. Frontier will have 121 in 2021 and by 2026 around 250. A merger would put us at 500 airframes at 2026. That’s impressive.

Whatever buddy, no one is arguing anything. I’m just telling you what was told to me.

I think a marriage is a lot closer then we think.

Why?

I know the written text is hard to decipher and I'm not being an A hole, mocking, or condescending. I'm genuinely curious as to why you think that.

This is just my personal opinion. RR email stating possible unplanned growth, aircraft orders in line th F9, almost matching contracts. Route structures very similar to ours, some over lap but not much. The future growth of both airlines is pretty impressive. So, my guess is Delta will buy us😁.

I've said this a hundred times, only the payscale and 401k matches (and rigs, sort of). everything is so wildly different between the contract people need to stop spreading misinformation.

They're not almost. Not even close to almost. That shows a gross misunderstanding of both contracts.

Ok, you are correct. I shouldn’t compare the two, my apologies.
