Well that’s true. I think being acquired by anyone besides frontier would be highly unlikely

I don’t agree with this. There are plenty of airlines that would like NK to go away and gladly take their planes/pilots/gates

Legacy airlines didn’t create basic economy out of the blue. Get ride of basic economy, when you get rid of NK

I’m 98% in my base/category at AA, but spend way more time at home than I did at Spirit. I only worked 9 days last month. Granted, I am on call on reserve, and don’t get any days off I want, but I don’t get used much on reserve. Seniority is moving fast here and United, so you’ll take a hit in quality of life initially, but it comes back quickly.

DFW 320. They’re merging D/I by the end of 2024.

AS/VX were both narrow body airlines and not bankrupt. JB/NK I’d expect similar integration but NK/legacy No

I didn’t say a merger/acquisition by a legacy carrier. Although that is a real possibility in BK court, assets are assets at that point. Yellow planes have to go somewhere if it gets to that point.

This administration will be out in 13 months. Joe and his crusade will be out with a new DOJ in, all things change with a new DOJ on any mergers. I’m sure that is a huge consideration with HA and AK right now, taking a gamble a new DOJ will be in.

First, “being bankrupt” is only a thing in Monopoly. If you’re referring to restructuring, yes, one airline can be in restructuring and it would be factored into any seniority list integration.

But if you’re willing to go to the bottom of a legacy list now, you will still be better off being integrated as a 10+ year CA if we were in Ch11 and take a hit from the current financial issues with the company.
