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.
🙄 yes let’s spend 4bil just to run another airline that will have a hard time retaining pilots…

Do you intentionally not pay attention?

B6's pilot contract says any merger must have a CBA in 6 months or they pay B6 pilots substantial penalties.
The Merger language says they have to have a merger close by December or it pays penalties to the NK shareholders.

But yeah, I'm sure B6 management will drag it out to save a few pennies on spirit pilots.

JetBlue CBA 1.E.2

A single collective bargaining agreement will be negotiated by the pilot
groups and the Companies subject to the transaction or their Successor.
While such negotiations are ongoing and until a Joint Collective
Bargaining Agreement is ratified the status quo as specified in the agree-
ment(s) of the impacted pilot group(s) will apply. Each pre-merger carrier
shall keep separate flight operations of the carriers and will not transfer
or interchange pilots or aircraft between the carriers unless otherwise
negotiated and agreed to by the Association, and shall ensure that all
Company aircraft on hand or on order at the time of the transaction are
operated only by JetBlue Pilots. This will not prohibit the carrier from
obtaining a single operating certificate.

There's a whole bunch of inbound buses on the way. Who do you think is supposed to push the buttons on them. Jeez man, think
