An industry leading JCBA will help with attrition, along with more bases spread out across the country. We instantly go to 7500ish pilots. Yea, we’ll always lose some guys to the legacies, but we will be a net positive in hiring. Idk, I kinda hope this goes through.

I hope you’re right, but it seems like in mergers, 2+2=3. If it goes through, I hope our execs don’t end up closing a bunch of domiciles and deferring a bunch of deliveries and we just end up with a lot of younger pilots integrated ahead of us on the list, slowing future seniority advancement. I know they wouldn’t plan on spending billions of dollars just to waste the resources, but unless they figure out how to retain more pilots, they could be forced into it (kind of like cutting the flying this summer) and if it starts to look stagnant, attrition will just accelerate. Just one possible outcome and I hope it’s overly pessimistic.

Envoy secures 57% increase in pay rates. Jetblue, one of the other AA regionals, settled for 3%. Great job yes voters.

If we were to acquire Spirit, I believe it would require all of us to elect new LEC/MEC reps across the board? We can get rid of CK and maybe elect a group with some backbone. I’m tired of the company running roughshod this pilot group. I just sent a PDR in over a contract violation and the response was completely useless. As a matter of fact, out of the 5 or so PDR’s I’ve sent in, I’ve never received an informative or helpful response. It’s either snarky, clueless, or apathetic. We do have some solid guys in B6ALPA, but damn, the whole thing needs an overhaul. If nothing else, maybe Spirit would bring that to the table.

They have a spine, they just don't represent us anymore.
