No I wouldnt. But if I lived in a JB base, that wasnt a spirit base, then I could see a reason why. But thats about it. With the current contracts not really much different between the two. Its also a longer upgrade at JB last I checked and lots of growth expected at NK. So that would far outweigh any few percent difference in the pay scale.
I also cant stand JB’s “culture”. Clean cabins as part of non rev benefits? Ya no thanks. All the crews Iv met have been fantastic though!

Why are you buying stock in the company you work for??

Volatility=opportunity. Easy to make a quick turn profit on SAVE.

Because there will be an offer that you can almost double your money

Employee merger
Wall Street stock swap buy out

$58 per share in a stock swap
Let’s see what the BOD will say

FWIW, many here may already indirectly own some of these stocks through mutual funds.
In our 401k: PSCZX has over 115,000 shares of SAVE. IMOZX has over 300,000 shares of DAL.

I own SAVE indirectly through one of my mutual funds in my Roth.

Agreed, the only reason I could see leaving would be if it allowed you to avoid commuting.

Everyone check your emails. Looks like a big announcement coming.
