I liked the Southwest (IIRC) North Face style jackets I saw around Sea-Tac. Lightweight, clean looking, don't have to worry about wrinkles. Look better and more professional than leather jackets. Lighter, more compact, and good in the wind as well.
These are the same karbon jackets we have. They’re heavier than they look. |

I think the argument for a merger between Spirit & Frontier seems pretty obvious (e.g. massive ULCC, fleet type commonality, similar contracts, route overlap, etc.). There seems to be a consensus that the trajectory of the industry may lead to more consolidation. All that said, why wouldn’t a merger between Spirit + Frontier happen? I know this is all speculative, but it highlights the differences and potential trajectories of the companies. |

mergers are bad for all employee groups. as pilots we should not want to merge. not to mention how it effects gate/ground/office jobs. also bad for our customers as prices would rise

Wait, I thought this was a jacket threat? What is all of this talk of mergers?
Mergers are expensive and only done when one of the companies is struggling and cheap. Furthermore, JB, Alaska, Spirt, Frontier, Allegiant, and Sun Country could merge and still not be as big as SWA. NK/F9 would not give enough benefit to outweigh the cost. |
If two of ALPA carriers merge, how are ISLs typically handled? Is it by date of hire, relative seniority? Considerations for seat position? I don’t know what the precedent or guidance is, especially with mergers of a single fleet type.

As far as how they will be merged, that will go to an Arbitrator after the merger committees will inevitably fail to reach an agreement, but the popular method in recent SLIs seems to be Status Category integration. |
