​​​​​I've been happy with ironite in addition to my normal plug aerating, overseeding, and fertilization schedule. I simply follow the directions on the bag and broadcast with my Scotts spreader.

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
Yeah, all the good stuff a contract has pre merger/SLI? Don’t count on any of that to exist at the end and you won’t be disappointed. Management will take the most cost efficient aspects from both and seek to use that for the new work rules.

Management ALWAYS tries to get the most cost-effective work rules and the lowest pay scales possible at EVERY contract revision. That’s what managements do. If they can’t get what they want they’ll drag it out as long as possible - letting inflation eat away at the old pay scales until the pilot group weakens. That’s management RLA 101.

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.

Liquid iron works better, just go light or you can turn the grass black instead of green. Oh, and humic acid, lots of humic acid.
