Another F9 guy here, I've been curious about your pay rates...when the B6 merger was looming did they memorialize those gains into an LOA (without expiration) until a JCBA could be reached? Or was it just a bone they threw you to tide things over through the merger process? If we merge and it's not contractual I'm sure they're going away in the near-term but we will all have to negotiate the next CBA so I don't see any pay cuts as permanent. If it's part of your CBA the rates won't change until we negotiate a JCBA. They day turns on the other hand...
Also, I love the proposed F9NK nickname of this thread of "LFG", which I can only assume means "Low Fares Giant" lol

Why would our rates get "cut down"? If we merge we would have to negotiate a new CBA and both carriers are already vastly underpaid compared to our peers.

Because management's argument would be that your "peers" are Sunny, Allegiant, and Breeze. And since the court has already ruled that NK is in a different category than B6, you'd be averaging between an NK losing money and F9 at their current rates.

Not the case at all. Ask a rep what would happen to our pay if we were given a bankrupcy contract. (hint, it will actually go up). Our "peers" are other airbus drivers. Not the company's business model.
