I don't think so. F9 is in bankruptcy and need an equity share partner...we aren't in bankruptcy, in fact we are making consistant profits. RAH can kiss my a**!
I think we're going to announce good things soon...can anyone say Havana?

Anyone heard about Judge ruling on NKS bad faith bargaining and company to ask for voluntary furloughs this fall?

On June 18, Judge Avern Cohn, sitting in federal district court in Detroit, ruled that ALPA’s complaint against Spirit did not meet the very difficult requirements for sustaining a bad faith bargaining claim while the parties remain in mediation. We respect the views of the Court, although we note that it is truly regrettable that Spirit has wasted a full year of bargaining arguing over contract provisions that have nothing to do with economics or efficiency, and were previously the subject of agreement in this round of negotiations. We will proceed on the hope that Spirit will approach bargaining on a more constructive basis, but also with the understanding that Judge Cohn has indicated in his written decision that “The Court may yet have a role” in this matter and, on that basis, dismissed the Complaint “without prejudice,” meaning that ALPA is not barred from filing a future lawsuit based on similar or related conduct by Spirit.

Word is that the company will offer temporary leaves for the fall for anyone that would like to take it. I was told they want to get about 10 pilots off the payroll for sept and oct. Also was told they will shrink ACY by around 5 crews for sept.

If it is just for 2 months, I am sure they won't have any trouble finding 10 guys.
