I’m sure they will switch back to B6 tomorrow. I would expect another offer.

I think because the F9 deal now matches everything plus has SAVE owners get equity in the new company. Prior to this B6 was such a better offer that it offset that point but now that they are so close, it swings it back towards f9.

B6 will need to come back with a significant offer to get ISS back on their side.

I understand that, however the F9 deal gives the NK shareholders equity in the future company, whereas the B6 is a straight buyout.

I think the assumption is that in the future the F9/NK company would be worth more to the shareholders than the buyout offer from B6.

The new company is going to be a steaming pile of dog ****. They wont post profit for at least 5 years. Attrition through the roof, moral through the floor. We had to drastically reduce our flying just to prevent the tidal meltdowns. Imagine what it will be like when we are double the size with half of the trips starting in hurricane country.

Praying jetblue ups the offer and seals the deal before the 30th. I really dont want to have to update 2 years worth of logbook entries.

Serious question ^ why did you go to spirit ? So now you’ll be working for the biggest ULCC (if this goes through ) and Nr5 biggest airline in the US with a relatively painless merger of models, which will obviously give you leverage as they have to come to the group before a JCBA.

2 whole years of experience at Spirit ? Leave for JetBlue. You have nothing to loose yet. They are hiring. You’ll be a lot happier. Not being sarcastic here. If it’s so bad for you please leave. If you decide to stay I’ll still pay for your beers when you fly with me.
