If you're that worried about a B6 merger, I'd advise to get out now and start accruing seniority at one of the Big3. Good luck! We're all going to need it one way or the other.

I'm good. The company's attrition is not my problem. When the dust settles we'll all be in a better spot, wherever that may be.

Have you ever spent time at a shrinking airline? The company’s attrition is definitely your problem unless you’re very close to the top of the list. Otherwise, you move up the list and it just shrinks behind you while your overall seniority gets worse and worse.

ORD, DTW, ACY, and DFW CAs. For those still holding these bases, ask yourself if you think JBLU is going to keep these bases open. Having flights and gates in these markets to compete against Legacy hubs isn’t the same as staffing bases there.

F9 merger is the best opportunity to keep the bases we have due to the simple model of how we fly, city pairs.

JBLU might get you some more money hourly but at what cost. Devil is in the details.

Well that’s just not true. Spirit pilots where showing their didn’t want to be dragged down by frontier contract. That is with both pilot groups and companies being pretty similar. You’re now blaming JetBlue pilots that would get shafted with a relative seniority list from being annoyed of losing that seniority? Trust me Jetblue pilots know this isn’t a legacy carrier. We know we aren’t Delta, United, and American. I wouldn’t expect any less from those airline pilots if they were going to lose years of seniority to JetBlue pilots.

This thread is also childish as the company could care less about the opinion of the pilots of who they rather join. I’ve seen some from your group wanting the JetBlue merger more than frontier. I wish you were right though and JetBlue and spirit didn’t mix seems like your hostility and name calling doesn’t help the relationship anymore than a JetBlue pilot defending why he shouldn’t lose years of seniority.
