If we merge and it's not contractual I'm sure they're going away in the near-term but we will all have to negotiate the next CBA so I don't see any pay cuts as permanent. If it's part of your CBA the rates won't change until we negotiate a JCBA. They day turns on the other hand...

Also, I love the proposed F9NK nickname of this thread of "LFG", which I can only assume means "Low Fares Giant" lol
They are contractual and part of our current CBA, which is currently amendable, as is yours.

Why would our rates get "cut down"? If we merge we would have to negotiate a new CBA and both carriers are already vastly underpaid compared to our peers.

Because your negotiating leverage isn't very strong.

Because management's argument would be that your "peers" are Sunny, Allegiant, and Breeze. And since the court has already ruled that NK is in a different category than B6, you'd be averaging between an NK losing money and F9 at their current rates.

Not the case at all. Ask a rep what would happen to our pay if we were given a bankrupcy contract. (hint, it will actually go up). Our "peers" are other airbus drivers. Not the company's business model.

True but we are talking about a JCBA not the current state of the airline. Since Spirit isn't making money do they get a discount on fuel?
