I don't understand why people don't get it. Of course the company will present low ball offer, united, delta, aa, swa management all did the same. That's how it works, as mentioned it's up to the pilot group to approve it or vote it down.

ADD the ability to call for a "no confidence vote" for any BCP....... supposedly being our "company representative"......

that just means they aren’t in your base for the month.

Like they will never go anywhere else.

Voting in any other way is a disservice to not only yourself, but your peers as well.
Agreed as a soon to be new hire.

No other way to do it.

So that sort function in nav blue is domicile specific? The dropdown list with overnights when sorting individual sequences? I just assumed when a city wasn’t on that list it was removed from the software because I have seen cities on that list that had no overnights in my domicile that bid period.

Opinion puff piece overall but he reiterated what he said in the JP Morgan call that a merger is not in the works for quite a while.

so, we are now in summer season... Spirit has yet to figure out their debt situation. I really am starting to wonder if/when we will hear about them merging. From everything I look at we are the same airline with just a different paint scheme.

1) we offer almost the exact same product
2) both use same software (navblue, flica, ect)
3) we fly the same aircraft
4) from what i've been told our SOP's are pretty similair

The list can continue for a while, but we all get the point.

I'm just a pilot but man, I feel like the cost synergies would be giant if they mergerd... Maybe we could actually get in-house ground personal.

I also think it would allow them to try to pivot the product they currently offer into something that's not known as a Meme to the general public.

Mergers are always messy, but I think it would be as seamless as airline mergers get.


What do you all think? I know this thread hasnt been chatted about in a while...

y’all should probably worry more about making some money instead of worrying about taking over the world with your failing product.
