Hello again ! What will happen to the Spirit pilots bidding system after the merger with Jetblue or Frontier. One of the main reasons for me wanting to work for Spirit is the QOL and the flexibility the pilot group enjoys.
1) Will the Spirit pilots have separate work rules post merger or is that a whole new contract negotiation
2) Will Spirit pilots be forced to bid under the existing bidding system at JB or Frontier
3) What will happen to the pilot contract if Spirit is totally absorbed into either JB or Frontier
4) Can there be 2 different pilot groups / work rules in one airline ( like people grandfathered into old rules)
Thanks

Well that would lead to a big old no from everyone i know.

But a merger JCBA is something that THEY want, otherwise all the time and money spent in the acquisition and merger is wasted, and THEY want it as promptly as possible.
If in this environment of pilot shortage and management need to get this acquisition and operational merger completed we can’t make gains in both QOL and pay, that’s on the pilots union and the pilots themselves, not management. We’ll rarely if ever have an opportunity better than this, but you get what you effectively negotiate for and vote on. And maybe that’s all you deserve.

Throw on a pair of golf shoes while pushing the spreader, two birds/ one stone.
