Honestly conflicted.

First read-through was a hell no.

Listening to opinions on both sides reveal some interesting and compelling takes.

I guess, for me, what vote gets us to be Jet Blue faster? this place is a complete $hit show.

This entire vote is just a gamble. Do you believe that Spirit management will come right back to the table with a better offer, very quickly? Vote no. Do you think that they might just say screw it? Vote yes.

Neither, you’re stuck at Spirit until DOJ approves the merger (if it approves the merger at all). You’re likely looking at a 5 year timeline if not longer before you’re under a JCBA with JetBlue.

Vote like JetBlue merger won’t happen and you’ll be stuck with what you get for the rest of your career…

why would NK management ever come back to the table if DOJ wins (not just DOJ not supporting) merger with JB? Why not let NK become a shell and merge it with F9 with low labor costs plane orders and gates? If NK is about to collapse makes great argument for DOJ for F9 merger?

Spirit won’t survive in present form without a new contract attrition is too great and NH pay isn’t high enough. Vote this TA down and you’ll have a better agreement because management can’t afford not to give it. There’s only so many 750hr helicopter pilots around so they won’t be able to hire enough to change the tide.
