Operate as separate companies until the merger is approved by the DOJ.

We both have to run our own show for at least another show. Bet spirit does all their own hiring pretty much up until the merger closes

There is. They already qualified for half of the retention bonus. They get another next year.

I couldn’t tell if you were being sarcastic or not. Why would you delete legacy apps?

Because I absolutely refused to work for Frontier and their management. Tbings have changed. Losing my base, seat, and seniority isn't do appealing now. Real talk.

He's not wrong...
