This should be an indication how things will go with Frontier ownership in a JCBA. Anyone that prefers that deal over JB should just go apply at Mesa bc that’s how this is going to go if we end up with frontier. JB isn’t just going to throw stacks at us without a negotiation but indigo is 100% going to use ever trick in the book to stall and fight tooth and nail to keep us the lowest compensated. It took a strike last time and it took spirit getting a crummy contract in 2018 for frontier management to even start negotiating to essentially only match what we had at the bottom of the industry.

Quicker than that. B6 will be losing a ton of money every day they're not integrated. And no integration until a JCBA is signed. Most leverage either pilot group will have ever had except maybe during NKs strike.

Waiting to see if B6 goes sub $8 today. Let's not kid ourselves, if any airline is potential prey for a hostile takeover, it's them.

Wow how this thread has drifted! Its funny to read. Here's the thing. Nobody knows what, why or how the merger is going to play out. Everybody can speculate, but only the top players know. We are simply labor. Cogs in the wheel. Our job pays well, is fun, but the top players have MBAs and are compensated a lot more than us. Quit trying to pretend you have the insight and information to know what will, would or could happen. You're pilots.....
Second, the lanyards suck. They are big, wide, long, and the style is reserved for fast food workers and douchey kids keys. Just clip the thing on your pocket or epaulets. Wear the ALPA pin. Rant over. Good day all!

As for JB being a takeover target, the simple act of beginning that takeover campaign would send the stock much higher.

Heard several mention the ALPA lanyard being too long. I agree, had to open the clip mechanism and trim the lanyard straps shorter.
