I don’t call out sick unless I’m sick. So not worried about that. Know what I’m worried about ? After gate divestitures, and SLI, getting absolutely slaughtered seniority wise. Highly unlikely my QOL would even be in the same stratosphere as it is now with a B6 hookup. I think, as many do , the F9 marriage will be much more seamless and more advantageous long term. I’d suggest You be careful what you wish for. Getting absorbed by B6 could be a huge mess. I’d rather grow organically but I’m thrilled that F9 Is the choice of the 2. And if the merger is such a bad idea then why does B6 wanna kill it so bad.

So ALPA merger language only applies to F9 not B6...got it...if I were a better I'd guess you weren't here in 2010...God help us all
Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk now throw in divestitures and route overlap mainly on the east coast the DOJ would surely axe and then what happens to relative seniority ? F9 doesn’t have a ton of folks on the east coast and with the addition of PHX, TPA I can’t see a ton of folks from either airline chomping at the bit to run to each other’s bases, keeping many peoples seat, seniority, relatively intact. and In addition to the bloodbath a B6 digestion could be, I’ll firmly stand by my belief that the smart business move for long term growth potential is with an F9 marriage. Im happy the Board voted 9-0 against. |

I wouldn't jump to conclusions on f9 just yet...something tells me B6 isn't done playing hardball...either way I think attrition and demand will still be "strong". It will however be a great tool for whoever is managing whatever airline to drag feet and pretend there's no problems

B6 doesn't want to kill our merger, B6 wants our planes and pilots to try and be a competitive airline in America. It has more to do with them succeeding and less to do with f9/nk failing

ha great argument. The shear size and level seniority B6 has at MCO and FLL would not bode well for us. I’m 35% in base. Merger policy would no doubt TRY and be fair but there is zero chance many of us would keep the same QOL. The plug at JetBlue in FLL is what 11 years on property or so? 9 years here and top 35%. MCO is similarly senior for them.

This isn’t over. My employee opinion withheld, as a share holder I want my $33. I’m sure many others feel the same nah . It’s over. And I dont want my $33. Ill make way more in 10 years with twice the shares of ULCC and keep in mind many investors will lose out at $33.. |
Ted said on the earnings call that even if they went with JB, it would likely be at least two years before anyone even got their $33/share
