Since we are hoping, can't we hope they throw the whole deal in the dumpster and move on..?

Is this a stall static for negotiations? Why did they sell this to be the mergers they will measure mergers by and now they are already off schedule? What's the hold up?

"About 2 million Virgin America shares were traded Friday, the most since 2.9 million shares traded on Sept. 29, as speculation mounted about possible concessions."

Concessions??

This merger has almost no overlap, no major market rule, and although they become the "largest" west coast airline, their power is still diluted in SFO and LAX. Apparently the holdup is the codeshares Alaska has with AA and DL.

Looks like they changed the careers site. Filled out the pre-interview form a while back but no call. Now my login doesn't even work anymore.

Pilot Poolie here (hopefully still the case). I heard some rumblings of classes starting up early next year. Anybody hear anything that's in the know?

I have no official information, but have heard a couple of rumors from folks close to the school house about a decent sized wave of hiring resuming shortly. Maybe January? I hear that those in the pool are safe.

However, much of the talk of anything happening seems to hinge on merger closure. The latest you or I could read in the news was 'end of November'. And here we are with more crickets.
