Can’t believe I’m actually saying this but I think being at the bottom of a combined JetBlue/Spirit may actually be better than being at the bottom of southwest now. Similar in size and similar in pilot age. Both will have slow movement compared to legacies but I think new JB will be the better place long term

Yeah, for sure. I am going to a legacy and will have better seniority 2 years in.

Robin (CEO) comes from British Airways and B6 is breaking ground on new T6 at JFK. There’s probably a very deliberate planned reason for the Spirit acquisition. More Bases, more assets across the country for more diverse network, but also to feed the international flying. Open new markets in Europe with LR and XLR, build the brand and customer base across the pond; and dare I say it wide body flying one day. Worst case, with the new JCBA/Contract wide body rates or an override for Europe flying for LR/XLR, it will probably be industry standard soon.

Yeah, hopefully just the "happy to be here" "I'll take whatever management is willing to give me" guys are the only ones who stay...

Can't fix stupid.
