I think this is what you meant, but just to clarify for folks: The 401k matching is 50% ($0.50 on $1.00) up to 5% compensation. Since the matching is only 50% you need to contribute 10% yourself if you want the full 5% company match. This is an area I don't think gets enough attention and desperately needs improvement.

Just throwing this out there... When in aviation history have 2 profitable airlines merged??... I get that we both fly airbuses... I get that we are both ulcc... Why does that matter? Qdoba and chipotle are both decent, "quick" Mexican food places... They both make money and no one talks about them merging... I might be comparing apples to cactii but just because we do very similar things doesn't mean they need to mash us together... If the whole point of the ulcc is to do things as cheaply as possible, a merger would drive the casm through the roof, at least temporarily...

They bought them... SW wanted some of their routes and they got a monster influx of airplanes and pilots... They weren't forced or merged together and I'm honestly not sure if they were profitable... There is a lot about this that makes sense but I don't see it happenening, if it ever does, for a good while... We're both growing and we're both making money... I know this is a stupid question after 10 years in the airlines, but if it ain't broke, why fix it??

Haha, exactly! Rumors get around airlines faster than they do in high school. I love it. One time (@ my previous airline) something awesome happened to my crew on the overnight. The story beat us back to the crew room.
