We have two rigs. Trip rig. 1-3.5. Then an average min duty period of 5 credit. We had 1-3.75 so improved that and that’s where the comparison is potentially incorrect. I’m not sure the 2-1 duty would be any better than the 5 credit min duty. It would only be an improvement after 10 hrs duty and would hurt anything below that. Software will need to analyze existing sequences to figure that one out. We have a whole bunch of sub 5 block turns that pay 5 that would be destroyed. Do you guys have either a min calendar or duty period? If so is it an average?

Nice info, The deadhead pay comparison for F9 is incorrect though. there is not a 50% provision

That comparison was more than likely composed before our current agreement was ratified. There’s quite a few mistakes. Probably was just updated august 2021.

So, 1 or 2 jumpseats on future (and existing) Fearit planes?

The single jump seat option on Spirit planes was a cost savings idea which eliminated the jump seat and O2 mask and it’s associated maintenance. Same with brake fans and foot warmers and a few other options. Some of the original 319’s and aircraft acquired from other carriers have them.

As far as future orders, changing the spec usually costs money after the order is placed, even years out.

Most likely the bean counters will figure out which costs less and go that route, which may include taking differently equipped planes from each order.

Give up red/green? Someone already found the secret stash of good herb the Denver Flying Club smokes from.

Does NK have a vaccine mandate?

Nope nope nope

no Polio vaccine mandate

It’s been 2 days and the only thing that’s happened is an announcement…

^^^^^^ I’m definitely on board with ya!!^^^^^^^
Why get rid of the 4 off min? Don’t like it, waive it!!!

this guy gets it!!!!!

Thanks captain obvious.

You’re welcome First Officer Oblivious.

We don't. We collectively should.

Do us all a favor and keep your low self-worth to yourself

glad to hear it 👍🏼

Sounds like Skywest is a good place for more windshear. Maybe the alternative school never called him up to play midget ball?

Over 10 years here, it’s reality, just accept who we are.

…and yet you’re still here. Your lack of a spine is exactly what management loves. It speaks volumes about your self worth if you think this place is merely a stepping stone.

He’s trolling I hope.. but the mentality and past participation in union SPSC events unfortunately speaks volumes. Hopefully our junior guys participate and fight for what we deserve!

Sorry this is late y'all. Still time to play!

Luckily we are merging with a pilot group that had almost 50% of their group show up to Denver on a cold snowy day to picket.

While it’s not over yet, today's town hall will soon break down to repetitive questions.

Biggest takeaways:

Merger first hinges on approval, historic time frame is roughly 9 months give or take. After that it will depend on intergration/labor groups/etc which is possible to take a year or two.

Will run as stand alone companies in the mean time, which includes individual base decisions, training facilities, hiring needs, etc.

No decisions on Name, operations location, uniforms, cabin for time being.

No plans to cancel or delay any aircraft, combined fleet 493 by 2026

Bendo mentioned training has a plan to increase training capacity, while upgrade numbers dipped, plan is still to restore and increase upgrades.

Admitted attrition is a concern, talks about growth and opportunity as incentive, vaguely talked about discussing with ALPA if becomes more of a problem, whatever that means.

Overall theme of ‘business as usual’ operationally until merger is approved. 125 planes have WiFi now, full fleet by end of the year, self bag drop will continue, destinations planned to open will go forward.

BINGO! ...I got a BINGO!!! What did I win??

We're all now dumber for having listened to that.

I was not dumb enough to listen.

Seriously what does anyone expect to gain from these?

Did you expect clarity?

It was so painful that I turned it off.

Nothing substantial, but as giddy as Ted and Bendo were, you just know they will make out like bandits in this deal.

Which tells me how badly they want it to happen, which tells me we go full court press on the contract.

I hope you realize that the merger and our contract are completely separate from each other. The merger doesn't require us to have a JCBA to be approved.

you are though, that's why we are all here.

Yes, I’m quite aware of that. That doesn’t change my outlook on what should be sought from the next CBA.

They could be giddy because they plan to platinum parachute out and can coast for the next number of months waiting for this to close to take their money and buy an island.

All of the executives will receive a bonus equal to 150% of their annual base salary. It's in the merger filing.

My ratification bonus minimum will also be 150% of my annual base salary. That's in addition to this third rate contract being propelled into its proper place as the new 5th largest airline. My 'yes' vote is going to be exxxxxppppeeeeennnnnssssssiiiiiiivvvvveeeeee.

And there are other bonuses as well. And that’s just for now. If they get the boot I’m sure the severance will be handsome. If they stay in charge at the combined company I’m sure the compensation increase will be massive.

lol, glad I am not the only one who picked up on that. They literally had dollar sign in their eyes.

Now we're talking

Know your worth Kings!

150% annual pay bonus and a snack box, let’s not settle here,
