Better than getting AirTranned.

Gotta keep Red/Green. Non negotiable. 😂

..new friends. How long is upgrade currently running at NK? It’s ~3 1/2 years on the Bearside (?) but I imagine they’ll be a scramble for the left seat at both companies…

We broke ground on that new Hq , and Florida is tax friendlier state ..
my bet is headquarters is in Fort Lauderdale. I’m betting Ted stays CEO. As for the name and color I’m not so sure . Spirit has spent a lot adding yellow to everything .. so I’m leaning staying yellow. But I wouldn’t put money on it .

Does this mean we won't get the yellow pants anymore?

Fantastic opportunity to rebrand and lose the rep, though

Indigo partners has been on a mission to dominate the ULCC market. The Frontier executive culture is not in favor of many of Spirit's labor agreements.
I would expect with F9 holding a controlling interest, their will be some very difficult Union integration discussions particularly issues such as scheduling.

F9 management does not want a scheduling flexibility program like that at NK and I would not be surprised if they refuse to adopt such amongst both unions unless both unions come together strong and demand it is preserved.

As far as the upgrades and growth/movement potential, I don't know that it will have much benefit in the near term. It may take upwards of one to three years for a full integration and operational synergies to be established.

Going to be very interesting.

So.. should I not attend my MTC event tomorrow?

It may not be popular, but as an F9 guy l Look forward to this. I have always been treated great by spirit crews. Seems like two like minded pilot groups that I will be proud to stand with.
