It seems like, for whatever reason, the company may be using "historical staffing numbers" as the contract requires.
Either way, I dont care if it was a magical unicorn that got it done, its done.

In section 25, it says the company uses its "experience". Now you know why it's screwy.
"Based on it's experience" and "historical staffing". It's the same because both language is weak.
It's weak like our 5 days off and red/green without mentioning black. We can't even get clarification on what "high speed internet" is.

No what's "awsome" is the fact that words do mean things. I quoted the contract. "Historical staffing" isn't found in the contract, "experience" is found in the contract.
The language is not weak. "Experience" is exact, it has a definition: (from Blacks Law Dictionary)
EXPERIENCE
1. Time spent learning a skill or field of knowledge. Superior understanding or mastery gained by actual practice acquired over months or years. 2. Known also as tenure
"maybe", "should", "possibly", "to the maximum extent possible" - these are weak.
We probably are on the same page, You say the language is weak and I'm saying that the language doesn't support the idea that most people think it supports. The language isn't weak, it is simply inapplicable.
For that matter, why are "red day" and "green day" not found in the definitions section?

The effects of "inapplicable" and "to the greatest extent possible" are the same -whatever the company feels like doing at the time.

Does anyone have a current order/ return schedule for our planes? I had one from about a year ago, but they have since pulled a few orders forward and changed 20 320s to 321s.

I found it, thanks for the directions. That chart was exactly what I was looking for, my previous one was out of date.

Spirit Airlines Q2 Beats Street On EPS And Revenues; Shares up More Than 3% Early
7/29/14, 7:23
06:23 AM EDT, 07/29/2014 (MT Newswires) -- Spirit Airlines (SAVE) has reported Q2 earnings per share and revenues that beat the Street view, driven by growth in flight volume, higher load factors, and higher operating yields.
Adjusted EPS of $0.91 was up from $0.63 in Q2 2013 and beat analyst estimates of $0.90. Total operating revenue was $499.3 million, up from $407.33 million in Q2 2013 and surpassing analyst projections of $498.74 million.
"While growing our capacity 17.2% year over year, we grew our top line 22.6% year over year," said Ben Baldanza, Spirit's Chief Executive Officer. "Our efforts to drive operational excellence have produced material improvements in controllable components of our cost structure which contributed to the 3.5 percentage point year-over-year increase in our Adjusted Operating Margin."
Shares of SAVE are up $2.46, or 3.63%, at $70.18 in early pre-market trading within a range of $29.65 - $68.95.
Price: 70.18, Change: +2.46, Percent Change: +3.63
