Do you think there’s an opportunity for consolidation in the space?
“I don’t know. We just saw Hawaiian and JetBlue. I think it almost done. We’ll see.”
But, but that’s not on the ULCC side.
“Oh. Well I guess there could be. We’ll see.”

some observations
BB makes a claim at 15:11 that there is "no reason" Frontier cannot get back to "Pre-Pandemic" margins and that is "Job number-1" (getting margins back).
Also documented at Aviation Week: https://aviationweek.com/air-transpo...ndemic-margins
At 17:10, admits/states that Frontier is not stealing any Big-3 business customers
28:35, pilot hiring stopped elsewhere is a "good thing".
Summary: Not sure if my confidence is more, or less, that a contract will be done soon.

I've pretty much come to the conclusion that we will get a contract when we go through all the RLA steps, it's dragged on as long as possible, get as close to a strike as the govt will allow, and they finally say f it just get it done. Doesn't matter if there is attrition, recession, booming economy, etc. Probably about 2 years from now. Hope I'm wrong.
