Fleet plan
And even if it did, if swa has 33% cap in Denver. That ain't that bad. I wonder what the spread is in DTW, MSP, SLC, and ATL for DAL.
How is the capacity spread in CLT, & DFW for AMR?
Just frustrated
Grrrr
On the other hand...
Organic growth would be soooo much better. New routes. Fresh faces. Moving on up.

Study up in the above merger, the only windfall they'd be allowed is our pay rates and work rules. No way a LCC merger goes through without substantial fences.

Yup! Blue book/green book and 20 year fences. Anyone who thinks they got screwed should in UAL/CAL merger, should try venting to one of those guys.

Just being picky.
It was "red book" nwa and "green book" republic. Blue book are post merger hires.

It just has to be fair and equitable. Theoretically, stapling can be fair and equitable to an arbitration panel.

The takeaway I got was that once those fences came down 20 years later Republic guys jumped to the top. If that happened here my single digit retirement seniority would take a substantial hit. I could see it passing with a yes vote by the majority of people who don't have 20 years left in the game.

The red book was suing until the bitter end that the a330 was a dc10 replacement. So you have that to possibly look fwd to.
I think we should face the fact that the nwa republic merger might have been put together even more poorly than the UAL CAL merger integration.

Doubt such things would happen as well as United buying jetblue.
From our side nobody I have talked with thinks they are just going to roll over to widebody skipper. I think JetBlue pilots are far more realistic.

Those guys you speak of that wouldn't expect a widebody captain position are being realistic. However they sure as hell would love to beat me and thousands of other FO's on the legacy side of the list to that seat a few years down the road. So fences until our youngest retires or a staple should be the baseline opener for any ULCC being purchased by a Legacy.

It's only a matter of time before one of the big 3 rolls the dice with the purchasing of a ULCC.
