Additionally I'd like to see all U.S. Airlines giving the middle finger back to Boeing and buying Airbus products.
That's great!
Spirit will announce a codeshare with NAI within a year if we can't secure similar scope protections in our next contract. Our section 1 protects against alter ego airlines and CPAs but codesharing is unlimited as long as they don't furlough us.
NAI is essentially a cleaner version of spirit and we will watch any hope of future wide body flying evaporate in an instant if we don't get ahead of the curve. I know the Jetblue pilots love watching all their passengers connect to a handful of different wide body carriers instead of capturing that flying and growth for themselves.
