Maybe to make room for new debt that includes a bunch of experienced seat meat.

Still cheaper to acquire than hire. Especially with all the Spirit goodies that come along with a purchase!
Plus with a large influx of seat meat they could drop most of the Enoy pay incentives.

How is it cheaper to acquire than hire at year one pay? Why do you think back in the day the legacies would constantly move the RJs around to recycle the same pilots from company to company and start them over?

What spirit goodies? HQ? What else?

leased airplanes, an Everest of debt, and…

Boeing issues are only going to get worse, not to mention Airbus and Pratt aren't getting any better. . There’s like 10 new Boeing whistle blowers coming forward even with the other 2 being murdred. The legacies can buy whomever they want when ever they want. Who knows how many palms they greased to block the Spirit merger.

Kirby is on record saying that buying another carrier is not in the cards. An average merger takes about 3 years. In the span of 3 years, we United expects to grow to the size of Spirit and Frontier combined without all the hassle and debt accumulation
