JetBlue and Spirit announce plan to merge, creating fifth-largest U.S. airline. (Published 2022)
The deal, which values Spirit at $3.8 billion, was announced a day after Frontier’s bid for Spirit fell apart. It is likely to face antitrust scrutiny.

I'm probably commenting ironically...
I definitely will be displaced, but commuting to reserve is killing me, so the wife and I decided that I we’re done with commuting.

I certainly can't disagree with cutting out commuting. It's hard to know what to do, or not do, for Brand F.

Yeah not an easy decision, but when the wife is sick of 12 years of commuting…had to make a change…also DFW to MIA is not an easy commute

Yeah No, Jetblue was a much bigger airline before NK grew, A lot of Nk guys are gonna take a big hit here. I'm a 5 year CA at NK, and worst case i'm gonna lose about 17%, best case around 5% Most NK guys around 4-10 years are in the same boat.

It's like I always say. Sure, it's ugly, but you are talking about it.

Sounds like a situation ripe for attrition to increase exponentially.

This is true, can’t argue that
! Still think should’ve kept the old one. It made the jet look nice. Like the final Northwest paint scheme….the Coors Light one.

So……………..
At the end of the day, it’s all about money and what shareholders wanted. I couldn’t care less what the BOD preferred. I got tons of literature in the mail telling me to please vote yes for the merger with Frontier. Yeah, no thanks. I didn’t want to leave money on the table for some assumption that a combined F9/NK would do better in the future. I voted no, as did (clearly) a majority of the SAVE stockholders.

Great looking livery but I imagine too classy looking. Didn’t fit their business model.

I didn’t mind it I just didn’t like the design of the tail. Something like this would have been much better.
damn……no holds barred!
“we can’t have trash dressed up in an Armani suit. Get rid of that smart livery, now!”

You’re not right about anything here. Your claim that the board has a responsibility to accept the highest monetary offer is still incorrect.

I gotta ask, how did you determine that NK pilots are going to take a big hit? I’m not super knowledgeable about ALPA’s merger policy but it’s supposed to be a mix of DOH and career expectations correct? I would expect anyone who’s been at NK more than 5 years should actually do pretty decent but then again, I really don’t know what I’m talking about.
