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.
It's just business. Sales tactics. Any big player in the stock market game understands and expects it. It's all good.

You obviously don't follow politics or the career paths of college football coaches.

Watch any presidential party debates? Then forward 3 weeks when they all drop out and suddenly all best friends. Imagine more of the same here

JB doesn’t care, they’re buying the entire company and probably cleaning house when it comes to the C suite. Hence why they were against this one.

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.

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 agree with you except the first paragraph. Hope the best for y’all and my friends at JetBlue. Bluedriver’s arrogance is beyond unbelievable. He has some serious insecurities. Eventually our mgmt will have to be replaced so we have that going for us. Good luck to y’all. Happy we’re out of the **** show.

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.

I look forward to that beer. I'll buy the second. I'm mostly only an arrogant smarta$$ when the bear gets poked. Occasionally just to entertain myself.
