Well, I wouldn't say he's been "running" it, Bob.

Into the ground, maybe.

Even then, they are required to keep two separate operations until the JCBA is ratified and in place. I’d love to hear ALPA’s take on what that language actually entails.

3% seems to be the magic number to get things passed by JetBlue ALPA so JetBlue’s current contract +3%, straight date of hire seniority list.

I think the future is bright for Spirit/JetBlue.

I wish the best of luck to our brothers and sisters at Frontier.

however I think without a merger for Frontier, they are going to face challenges acquiring talent for pilots… They will now eventually vanish into the fog of time.

Watching NK town hall with fearless leader TC. He’s been hittin’ the blue juice hard.

God this is a dumb post, seriously.

Frontier at least posted a profit as an airline yesterday, whereas we are slated for another loss. We remain one of the few airlines that still cant make a buck coming out of 2020. Remember how the F9 deal was a sure thing? Things can and do fall apart, so stop it with the "Frontier is doomed, we are awesome."

Way too early to spike the football while we remain a money losing airline who cant retain talent and a CEO who cares more about his bailout than the day to day operations.

Agreed 100%. Not sure why people feel the need to make predictions on Frontiers future. They are run by a company that owns 6 airlines, I’m sure they have it handled.

Anybody know if the NK pilots on the Bus will still be on the bus once the merger happens? Seems like it wouldn't make sense to send a bunch of bus pilots back to get typed/trained on a different aircraft. I know the bus pays the highest at JB

Say what?

No man. There will be a process agreement negotiated between the two MECs and a "bump and flush" from aircraft wont happen. Once the lists are merged, and any aircraft fences are down, pilots will then be free to use their seniority to bid any vacancies their seniority can hold for that bid
