he’s debating the semantics of an acquisition vs a merger and how that would affect integration not whether or not the seniority lists would be merged. More how lists would be merged based upon what the transaction of the companies is called (acquisition or merger)

Thats how I read it anyway.

Thinking about purchasing some more Spirit stock today since it’s down to about $12.50. Think it’s a smart move?

Why airline stock? So many better buys out there right now, and ones that pay dividends on top of that.

I suspect an industry lesson-learned through this would be to just take it to arbitration.
