Equipment fences, no amalgamated contract, no transition agreement.

I think that the answer to your question is No

Uhh, no. Absolutely, completely separate companies. This divorce can't happen fast enough for the majority of pilots here. There's only a very small minority of lifers that are heartbroken that their only shot at ever flying an Airbus has evaporated.

You are right, we deserve a lot more than we have gotten...from the IBT

JT has done more for the F9 pilot group than anyone on property (With JS a close second or virtual tie). He will drink for free as long as I am around and he deserves a huge thank you (along with more than one apology) from the F9 guys and gals.

just don't forget the Lynx guys when you start hiring

What are the fleet expansion plans for F9 to support this growth? Is it a bunch of Airbus NEOs like Spirit?

What about adding those C-Series Republic had ordered at one point?

What does this mean for republic and their rj flying for frontier/midwest?

It's been gone for a while. RAH is stuck with a bunch of worthless 190's that they can't give away. Even China won't take them.

It will be interesting how this will affect Spirit actually having some competition on the ULCC front.

Indigo will make Frontier a strong ULCC carrier, IPO it, and then a merger with Spirit.

Kind of what I was thinking, although I would imagine it would be no sooner than 5-ish years?. I also think if both airlines are doing well there may not need to be a merger? I dunno, lol just thinking out loud

Oh laaaawd that would suck
