I wish we could just skip ahead to the arbitrator ruling now.
😂, same. I am 20% and not looking forward to moving down, but I know you didn't pick this either.

Yeah I know there can be but I'm just saying what it's usually used for. I'm not expecting there will be any fences. Like what the hell would we (B6) or NK would need to fence off?

Some may be protective of their bases maybe? I hope you're right and yes, I think normally you get fences due to WBs and special flying maybe? The two companies are very similar that I'd hope we could deal without fences. Protect current seats and bases then let the natural flow of system and supplemental bids do what they need to do to even things out.

"No bump-no flush" is pretty standard and I would be absolutely shocked if it wasn't included in the final ruling

I was hired Spring of 2011 and am 40% 😭 We'll probably be slotted next to each other on the final list 🍻

Early 2013. Whoever ends up higher on the list pays for the beers!

Ultimately it will be determined by an arbiter no doubt. My hope is we can move on from that and galvanize to come together and get a top shelf JCBA because that's where we'll all make our $ and QOL.

Looking forward to the Spirit bubbas coming on board. Oh, and no fences. Daddy needs to drive to work in DTW! 😂
glad to have you brother! I’m biased but it’s an awesome base… provided your junior to me 😁

Face it, you and I both just want what is best for #1. Until we are merged I support my MEC in fighting for me, and I expect the same of you. As far as the JCBA goes, we are the same group fighting management.
The first 6 (or so) of those 60 are already parked and the rest are being parked over the next two years. Those aircraft are dead men walking and won't even be considered in an SLI.

Ha! Thanks. I see that base is really senior so that's probably the case!

And we have 100 220s on order so far.
