How does this work now that we are run by a group of people who very publicly said the JB CEO is a disingenuous liar and that the combined company would hurt consumers, be bad for the traveling public, and expect it to fail govt approval?
I mean, it's not like they said JB would be good but think Frontier would be better. I don't see how they come back from this. They sort of pushed their chips all in on Frontier and lost. Should be interesting.

I wish the F9 pilots the best in their careers, contracts, and home. We're all doing the same job and I hope I can look with envy at your contract someday. But I can't put into words the relief that I feel knowing that I won't be working for Bill Franke. I was ready to hit the 'submit' button today on several apps if this went sideways. I don't let work effect my home life but this F9 business has been a stressful drag on all of us. So glad that it's over.
I welcome Blue if that's our route and hope to Allah that we get new management if we stay it alone.

I kind of like the guy and would be willing to sit down and buy him/her/Gozer/ze/xim a beer. Smart assery arrogance speaks to me.

Congratulations guys the drama is over. We will be fine here at F9 and I hope everything works out for both pilot groups. Let's all remember this was never about the pilots but rather management. We all need to stick together and try to get a contract others are envy of. Good luck to all and best of luck going forward.
