How I picture an F9 guy sitting in Spirit's indoc after the merger

That truly is hilarious! But I predict it’ll be NK guys in F9 indoc explaining whether they came over in the merge or were a Cadet at Purdue.

spirit would be the one doing the buying. Why would indigo rebuy spirit?

They most likely wouldn’t

But nobody likes being the “acquired,” so of course F9 guys will see this playing out differently than a Spirit pilot.

We’re all gonna feel real stupid when we all have to stand every morning in the Las Vegas heat saying the pledge to Allegiant.

Disagree. Because A) Indigo can more easily afford NK than the other way around and B) vengeance…they booted Franke and it would be the ultimate win for him to buy the house he was evicted from.

Really though in the end I don’t care what’s painted on the tail. If we merge I’ll be happy to sit next to any NK pilot I’ve met and laugh about how we’re going to staple the SWA pilots to our list.

odd. I thought you animal guys were the ones with cadets….. not spirit.

Isn’t F9 going towards the day trip model or was that just pilots complaining about way too many day trips? Almost would look like an allegiant style model that F9 would be doing.

You’re right, F9 is getting the cadets. It was a joke that NK and them would be in the same indoc starting at F9. Apparently it was not obvious enough of a joke.

Pilots complaining? Couldn’t be. F9 does have more turns and 2-days than we ever did but we are not doing a G4 model. Hybrid I guess. I’ve always been a 4-day fan myself (and they’re back albeit <20% of the pairings) but a couple 15 hour 2 days back to back gives me more days off in a month.

Franke is actually I really nice guy though. I actually ran into him today at the airport in FLL. Said he was in town for some business meeting.
