Not to be tin foil hat but it is currently 3pm in HNL. Waiting 2 more hours to put out a release announcing a bid for HA??

^^^^….that letter reads, and likely was, drawn up a month ago. Hell it even says RH, CEO and JG COO.

makes me believe even more RH was shown the door because they knew about this a week ago when he ejected.

they have no idea what to do next

I mean, to be fair, he's still the CEO until February, so those titles are accurate based on the day.

But yeah, I imagine there have been a couple drafts sitting in drawers waiting for release.

For years now myself (and others of course) have said HA is who we should combine forces with. Overnight we get widebodies, they get Atlantic/Western Europe reach and we get more West Coast and Pacific ops. Now? Well, we just gave Spirit half a billion dollars for nothing. I'd rather our money stay inhouse now out of fear of losing even more on acquisition/merger attemps that the government could strike down.

cindy,

You’re probably right about the cabin reconfiguration.

but the seniority list integration the airline could care less about. That’s the unions problem to figure out.

JB pilots dodged a bullet yesterday. Is it better to negotiate a JCBA with a pilot group which has a demonstrated history of making huge advancements in negotiations, or one which needs large leaps just to come up to industry average and is willing to die on a "drop to zero" hill at the expense of important contract items?
