If you hold those shares through a site like Fidelity you have the ability to proxy vote.

I own shares through E*Trade and haven’t received the proxy yet.

100% more bases will help attract and retain pilots. Might even help with the stagnation issues we currently have, since there’s more bases/options to go upgrade at. If this were to happen.

Well now you’re making the assumption I’m voting “no”

How many B6 pilots NOT based in MCO/FLL actually want to be in MCO/FLL and are currently commuting is the only concern I have on the Walmart side of the equation?

I regretfully, possibly, turned down a JB offer just to no longer commute... If merger equals commute I'm out or something I don't know yet.

Seniority list mergers typically dont allow bump and flush so your seat is safe until a displacement were to occur after a list merge.

We’re stagnating at NK because we can’t retain FOs. It threw off the balance, so the company just spends all the resources on churning 1-3 year FOs.
