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.

Frontier posting a profit this quarter is meaningless if they can’t grow the airline in a year from now… eventually they will run out of 1500 hour CFI’s to choose from and succumb to pilot attrition.

if Jetblue and Spirit get a really good contract from this JCBA and become the fifth largest airline that will be more incentive for pilots.

Will Spirit be hiring pilots still or will JetBlue start having a say on the hiring?

JB management will not want you to have a new contract. They like having a lower paid pilot group. They will grow the Spirit side of the airline and do everything they can to not allow the two groups to merge, including not negotiating a contract which is the first step.

Don’t expect a new contract anytime soon. The good news is the Spirit side of B6 will grow as much as management can let it and the legacy JB side not so much.

Not sure why you think a JCBA and being the 5th biggest airline will move the needle for people. Even a great JCBA (it won't be industry leading) won't keep people who want to fly wide bodies or upgrade in 2 years.
