Yes as a F9 captain when I was on RSV
I had about a 40% success rate dropping a RSV day.

It’s more than that. While, yes - F9 is buying NK, the NK pilots outnumber the F9 pilots roughly 3 to 2. Getting the NK pilot community to give up ANYTHING will take a helluva big management GIVE, especially in the current environment.

How many millions of dollars payout per eye bag wrinkle and each half inch of beard hair?

Ability to drop to zero and practicality to are different things. While the “giving stuff up” sentiment is the wrong way to think, combining certain things can have adverse effects.

For example the first 18 hours of daily open time is already a feeding frenzy which bogs down flica to a crawl, now add in all the reserve pilots into the mix who are also trying to snap up open time. I’m not saying reserve pick up is a bad idea on its face, just that there is a lot to be considered.

So what’s going to be the new identifier for F9/NK. 9N? N9? KF? FK? No, probably not FK….

I don't care what the code is, can we at least ditch the Spirit Wings and Frontier Flight? Since F9 is technically buying, I propose an animal themed call sign. My vote is for "Harambe".

IT problems are fixable. Just add money.

Unfortunately, FK = Kelowna Flightcraft Air Charter from Canadia
