If they intent to sweeten, they have 2 days.
But hey in 3 days we'll see how it shakes out

Not a full blown nah.

This was the point they were trying to make. He/she can't look at spirit's best growth time and point to that to justify something being unfair. But if he wants to, so can we.

The point is until Indigo and Baldanza changed the company to a ULCC in the mid 2000’s, massive growth was never the focus. It’s like comparing McDonalds before Ray Croc to what it became after he changed the direction, it was happy to be a single store family run operation.
It’s not just about comparing a good growth period to a bad one, it’s a totally different company.

This isn't 2016 anymore, having the lowest paid pilots won't guarantee people show up and STAY anymore... The ULCC model is not the unstoppable force you believe it is. And Spirit isn't the small airline it was either. To double or triple again in size will be measured in decades, not years now.

yes I have actually been surprised on how aggressive they have been. However you never know it’s not over till it is. If we do end up together you and I will definitely be all for QOL stuff. I want to work as little as I can.

Both NK and JB are growing similar in real terms now, not some fantasy order book math you can't actually staff. It's not the arbitrators job to determine which few years in an airlines history were peak growth years and tailor a list for what benefits Symbian to the maximum extent possible and to the detriment of anyone and everyone else.
And I consider Payne to be a friend, so I won't cower in a corner while you try and ambush him with "Symbian logic

This will be a big driver how they integrate the seniority lists per ALPA merger policy.
And before you talk about pay rates, we tried that when we merged with United and it didn’t work.
