Quick upgrade in Florida bases? Lolz

First to profitability?- how’s that going? You guys gonna be profitable Q1 this year after last years ugly numbers?

Base stability?- We’ll see after JB is done with you.

Pay rates?- You’re still lagging. There’s nothing amazing at what they offered you after you’re new LOA.

An amazing JCBA with JB?- Sure. Why wait around for god knows how long (2-5 years prob) for some potential great CBA when you can go to a legacy with massive retirements, better CBAs already, and WB Flying.

New hires/recent hires look at spirit and JB and see an uncertain SLI, stolen seniority, and a very uncertain future. Why give up the greatest hiring wave in generations to wait around for Spirit/JB?

JB has obviously left scars on your body

Not only that. The viability of either B6 OR NK is threatened without the merger. There is an external reality outside of the wishful thinking of bureaucrats. Walmart just closed their Portland Oregon and half their Chicago stores because between taxes and crime they were losing money on them. Forcing either B6or NK into bankruptcy just means they will BOTH be bought by someone bigger. Both the pilot pools and the aircraft themselves are too valuable to just go away.
