There is no merger. There is no buyout and there is most likely not going to be an IPO. Do not fall for it. If the airline stays "as is" it will fail. If you aren't growing - you are dying. These venture capitalist are in the business to grow. Future aircraft deliveries will come whether the pilots fly them for current rates or United/Delta rates.


Well said. I totally agree. But we have plenty that will.

I also agree with Clearcreek and Aero1900. Ain't no way it's going to happen this year.

Not only is your logic unsubstantiated and flawed, you contradict yourself with your last sentence.
IPO submissions analysis shows labor is currently in the ballpark of 21% of casm, management bonuses exceed total pilot payroll, and you see them choking growth as a bargaining chip? Talk about cutting off your nose....
You then conclude by saying companies grow or die, and planes are coming regardless!?
Which is it, Warren B?
Listen guys, regardless of how long this takes, it's easier to throw stones from the sidelines at the guys doing the work than getting your feet wet. How about getting involved instead of letting management know you fully expect this to drag out ala UPS et all?
This rhetoric multiplied BECOMES status quo...not cool.

Tim Canoll said today that one of the three has left for another position in the government. The remaining two are left-leaning, and last time a change of power took place, it was around May before they were replaced.

And he said the remaining two can operate in full capacity, even with one of the three seats vacated. Maybe that's why we are petitioning the remaining two members RIGHT NOW.

I think this LOA67 arbitration is going to be important to our group, it may not be a home run, but I think it will be an RBI (Run batter in) for our section 6 negotiations. How's that for an analogy?
