Frontier pilots refused to swap a 40 percent wage hike in exchange for surrendering all their seniority, so Southwest’s bankruptcy offer for Frontier is dead. Republic, which previously got Midwest out of bankruptcy, is the winner.
Per the story of what it did to Midwest’s pilots, the Frontier pilots may not have made the right decision, but that’s a toughie in the dog-eat-dog world of pilot seniority, if you have any knowledge of that.
And, despite some analysts’ pooh-pooh-ing, Republic is a definite winner.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
