That will almost require that a restraining order be put on the buyout until the case is settled.
If JetBlue can’t back up their allegations, they can be countersued.
My guess?
Either
1. The NK BOD finds some fig leaf to hide their embarrassment (like the $3 a share differential) and reverses themselves and goes with B6
2. F9 SUBSTANTIALLY upgrades their offer.

If you have questions, ask someone employed at jetblue about our contract instead of your internal message board. I blocked 160 hrs last year and made more money than a NK pilot in the same range as me. I spent less than 20 nights on the road.

If you think for a second the Spirit BOD is still in play, you're wrong. The entire 14A is the NK BODs statement on why people should vote for the merger.

I’m just shocked at lol “pilots” are voting because they own stock. Most are armchair quarterbacks, lawyers, economic/retirement gurus amongst other professions. Now we airline merger experts. Jesus help us. How bout the proxy requirement require a explanation of why you voted as such. Dumba$$ reasons get thrown out. Kinda like the guys that ask about beards in a town hall. We are all f’d.

Exactly what im thinking... If any Spirit pilots that live in FL vote down F9 merger so they can cashout there 2,000 shares of Spirit stock at $33. Enjoy your commute to JFK/BOS to sit reserve as a junior CA when you could have just upgraded in FLL in a much quicker time with 500 airbuses on the way with F9. I wonder sometimes about people. But heyy, i made $5000 on my stock yay!! but I love my crashpad in JFK with 7 other dudes farting all night long while i try to sleep for my 5am show. Silly people!! LOL

Possibility exists for almost anything to happen, doesnt mean you need to take up that stance just for arguments sake.
