B6 has LAX which has been named as a focus city and Spirit adds LAS which has also been named in JetBlue documents. Seems like expansion to me.

You said "it's not just about good growth to a bad one". That's exactly my point and everyone else point who commented on it. He can't just point to a growth period and say NK was superior on growth hence blah blah blah. You can go back and read what he said.
Why don't you guys, Blue and Spirit both just drop this discussion? Grow the F up! We're all just along for the ride.

A-319/320/321 CA
A-220 E-190 CA
A-319/320/321 FO
A-220 E-190 FO

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.
Unless either airline gets something bigger than a 321 the highest status for both is Narrow body Capt. With slightly more CA's at Jetblue. Staus should and most likely would be a wash in arbitration. Not sure why SLI is even being discussed at this point.

Yeah, this. You can measure pee pees when we vote on a JCBA.

Why can’t we talk about it? I’m sorry we upset you. But maybe don’t click on the thread. Everyone knows we are along for the ride and are sharing their perspectives and opinions on the matter.

Seems like JB is inevitable. Time to start sliding into the InstaThot JB F/As DMs and lay the groundwork 🤣🤣.

Haha. Yeah, it’s the equivalent of calling in sick for a type ride so you can have more time to study the callouts.

Like you said, they clearly knew it would fail so this allows Frontier to maybe sweeten the deal.

Not surprising. They didn’t have the votes and they knew it. Now they will try and actually negotiate with JB instead of it being hostile.

Guess we will find out if Frankie is telling the truth about not offering more.
