I hate seeing a quality airline like F9 going the "Spirit" way.
Hardly a regional with big jets model. You should see what pay rates they are seeking for their next contract (Spirit that is)
I too would hate to see the product change from what F9 has been known for to a pack like sardines model like Spirit. But I must admit they are making money and their stock is through the roof.
