AETNA, but its going away, Friday the 19th we get the run down on the new "Good Luck Health Care"

4_72 hr guarantee. May be Jr Assignment on your day off with your consent. It goes above your guarantee.
(correction after CapScott slap)

5_yes, but also spirit.com under investor relations, you get the qtrly deliveries.

6_Trick qstn. How solid was AA, NWA,AT, UA etc, we were still making money at 120/barrel. Who knows. If you are looking at the next 10-20 years for stability and the SW, FEx, peace of mind, you won't find it here. We don't even know what's gonna happen next year, but the plans are there to grow. I think the great majority of us are gamblers and want NKS to succeed so we don't have to be in your position asking your questions.

About 90% of us want this place to do well, the rest is a toss between the "we are going down mentality" and the "I hope we fail just to prove the losers right"


Best of luck.

And Dilbert it's a cool dude, may be having a bad day. We all do.
Thank you very much. That was very helpful.

I have always had my sights on AA or SW because I badly desire a DFW base. However, SW will probably not hire for a long time due to the leasing of the 717's, and AA, well, we know where they are right now. Now that Spirit has DFW, it is very enticing. The only things I've really got to ponder if I were ever offered a job there is the lower pay compared with other majors/ legacies, and the stability of the company over the life of my career.

By the way, why does everyone refer to Spirit as NKS?
