Stop with the sanctimony and just admit you don't want B6 because of how your personal situation most likely plays out in it.
And the JetBlu guys wanna steal someone else's relative seniority. They're just as big of @ssholes.

B6/NK wouldn’t be good for either airline, like trying to put a square peg in a round hole.

Tell me again about “JetBlue Effect”. I’ll change my avatar to a picture of a clown if you can do it.

but you won’t cause posting a link is backbreaking work.

Oh yeah….Spirit knocked its out of the park with their Q1 earnings.

Not stealing, ALPA policy dictates how this will play out. We're just along for the ride. At least you finally admitted (inadvertently or subconsciously) the real reason you'd rather merge with F9. I have no problem with your reasoning. I get it. Just be honest and stop acting like it's better for society. It's not. It's just better for you. Don't worry, sport. You can sling my gear any time. I'll even buy the first round. Top shelf, just for you.

All airlines seem to be a financial dumpster fire at the moment.

I actually don't work for F9, NK, or B6.

Oh, and thank you for having a revolving door at the bottom of your seniority list. Thanks for spending the $$$ on new hire FOs who leave shortly after. They'll be slinging my gear down the road. Quality training paid for by you. You enjoy that top shelf, my friend.

I'm at about 10% seniority at NK so I'm not worried about integration. Just sustainability of the product. I've got at least 25 years left in the industry so I'm not sweating too hard.

Ahhh.....so you're one of those douches who throws grenades into conversations that doesn't concern him just for fun, eh? And you probably are the guy who wonders why all his FOs slam click him on overnights.
