Will BRAVO return us to viability? Profitability?

or is this a short term play to get us through h bankruptcy with hopes of enticing a partner?

Every non legacy will see consolidation in the next two years. Will we survive that long is anyone’s guess. Making money in 2027 as spirit is unlikely

This. Inflation has hit spirit and frontier flyers hard and those that aren’t as affected wouldn’t fly on them anyways. There’s about a 100% chance frontier will try to merge.

Yeah, nothing given to the employees at all, SEC filing

And just my opinion, the union shouldn’t be sending out any company lofty “pie in the sky” changes to save the company. Save that propaganda fantasy land for the investment community.

I don’t mean to turn this into an attack on TC,

but why are they keeping him around? He got a $3.4 million bonus and he did absolutely nothing for the shareholders.

I don’t even care about the employees or the customers because that’s not a company’s main concern.

A company’s main concern is for the shareholders and he has done nothing for them. He’s lost almost all their money. what is the plan?

they’ve gotta have a plan… no Board of Directors in their right mind would keep him around if he did have something up his sleeve.

$4.219m bonus. But who’s counting…

And no, he has lost all of their money. Stock was $26 a share in 2022 when the F9/NK merger was announced, it’s trading .16 OTC currently. So a $50k investment then is worth $307 now. That’s losing all their money.

But I’m glad the big stockholders lost their money on this. They had the solid F9 deal, they wanted to push it for the slightly larger payday of JBLU, know the DOJ had a stiffy for mergers. Look what happened.

What makes you think they would’ve allowed the Frontier merger at the time other than Ted saying so. More money from JetBlue was the better deal. The Frontier would’ve been shot down for the very same reason had the DOJ sued which they would have.

Agree 100%

We will never truly know, but the F9 deal was far from being a lay up with Biden's DOJ. At that point in time I doubt any merger had much of a chance.
