Ya, but you can also break 100 hours on reserve flying ONE three or four day trip.. Allegaint has raised the floor on pay. Anyone's guess on how much longer it will be for us. Just started mediated talks.. I would like to know a statistic on the historic average amount of time it has taken to reach a TA after mediation begins.

From Bloomberg-
"Chief Executive Officer Bob Fornaro says he’s been focused on reliability since his first day on the job six months ago. So has his board: In January, they amended executive compensation plans for 2016 to give on-time rate a 20 percent weighting in calculating managers’ bonuses, up from 10 percent."
There's a real easy way to fix this Bob.
It's called a win-win Bob. Until then, why should you get a raise and we don't? Perhaps guys will get the word out?

If they are smart, they want it done before 2019 when all the legacy contracts "me too" clause start taking affect. The asking price just went up after the Allegiant contract happened. Just for a fun rumor that has no support to it. A friend at United said they were looking to buy Spirit because why take over our 319s when they can get them with the company! There have fun with that one.

As for United, I don't think they have the cash nor could get the loans to get that done. Don't get me wrong, a United takeover would be fine by me; I just don't think they have the cash.

Cash on hand isn't an issue, United could purchase Spirit and finance it with the cash we have on hand.
I believe United purchasing Spirit is the most likely scenario out there, not just for the aircraft but for the pilots as well. A side benefit would be the increased presence in the SE USA and the elimination of a LCC competitor (United hasn't really formed an aggressive strategy against the ULCCs like AA and Delta have).
BUT, I don't think it's going to happen. United is going to look to acquire someone though, eventually. But that's a ways out.

That is a very good point. They could use our money.
