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”
b6 cba doesn’t allow that to happen. Can’t fly under the Jetblue name.

Well there ya go.

Yet another good reason to favor the JB deal. They will absolutely need a JCBA and SLI.

Negotiations have been pretty weird. No sections TA’d it’s like they are waiting for the green light.

yeah I do think they will stall our negotiations until they get their ducks in a row with Spirit, if it happens. That will influence what they rather/rather not give.

Even on sections that should be low hanging fruit and provide a W for both sides PRs. They know any negotiations now are a waste of time if they need NK buy in and input.

I just read that Ted C. is the former CFO of F9? And he's promised to run the new combined NK/F9!?

It all makes sense now. How could you circumvent that? Promised job at B6?

So they’ve come out and said who is running the combined company? Where is the link to what you read?

He can dump the lavs. But only after the long flights. From the Dominican Republic.

He was the former CFO of Spirit, unless he did the same at F9 before coming here….

Edit: apparently he was CFO of F9 starting in 2002 according to Bloomberg…. As far as being promised to run the new company, haven’t seen that.

He was the CFO at Frontier. Also ran Pinnacle through bankruptcy. Real winner.

Has beard, plays guitar, and doesn’t bother to wear tie on CNBC.
