From: a320 first officer
I currently fly for Interjet airlines in Mexico city as an FO on the a320,
FAA Atp PIC A320, 2300 hrs on the bus...
Unfortunately so far TBNT emails. Hopefully a job fair will help a little bit.

I guess the bigger question is who would buy us? I really don't see the frontier thing happening.

Man, I don't know what to tell you. I talked to an ExpressJet FO that was typed in the A320 @ Avianca, who was also not hired here...

1. Stock prices was $80 last year. Now it is $40, with more planes, more pilots, more revenue.
2. We are the most profitable airline in the country.
3. Mainline fleet is aging. Our average plane age is 5.5 years and decreasing every month. Significant and valuable aircraft orders through 2021.
4. Pilots. Legacies will be hurting for pilots in the coming decade. They would get a fairly young force of 1400+ typed pilots.
5. Buyer would no longer have to discount against us on overlapping routes.
6. Routes. Significant, prized, south of the border routes.
7....8...9....

Who WOULD'NT buy us? So many buyouts in history. The legacies all have Airbus on property. Why buy?

I'm starting to think our only hope is to get bought. We will have to strike and in effect burn this place down to get anything. I agree with the others who said they are delaying until they can merge with some and say "sorry, now we have to start over again from scratch" Why doesn't alpa fight to overturn the outdated and unfair RLA?

That was a "business" point, not a "saving money" point, HOWEVER, to have 1,400 typed pilots show up on property without the HR involved in 1,400 interviews, and initial training, a few a a time, of 1,400 pilots,, would save money.
Virgin: bought
AirTran: bought
TWA: bought
Northwest: bought
US Air: bought / merged
All recently.
Gone but not forgotten, recent history: Skybus, USA300, National (LAS 757s),
Independence.. A few more?
All add up to fewer carriers with projected increase in worldwide demand.
