Assuredly, pay numbers have been taken into account. They have numbers on a high and low end. It's up to the company to negotiate us down to the low end, and us to negotiate to the high end. That's it.
Im not saying we shouldn't discuss our concerns, that's the point of the forum, but we have no idea what the numbers are. JB is attempting to create economies of scale that will help them make further profits. Same as why Frontier is trying to merge with us. The elementary discussions we are capable of making to those effects are just that, basic. We don't have the numbers in front of us to create any educated arguments for or against what JB is or isn't able to pay.
Not coming at you btw, just commenting off your point

JB has already acquired the financing for said conversions. There are some very smart bankers that have looked at the numbers and are willing to back this deal. I don't think any of us simple minded pilots are on the same level, in terms of finance, as those ivy league graduates at Goldman Sachs.

It’s not efficient to keep it all separate but they can and will brand change any of the spirit planes as fast as they can. They just will continue to be operated by spirit pilots only. Our contract doesn’t prevent repainting or what interiors the company can put in the planes. And they will continue to suffer from massive attrition.
This is me making an assumption of your definition of “converting”
