Feng,
Give me one good reason why you are here managing down our expectations and telling us who our "peers" are and how you think an airline cost structure works? As a pilot that isn't benificial to you in any way whether you work at spirit or not. If you work at a lobor busting law firm like ford and Harrison or are a member of spirit management I can see your motivation. You seemed to have clearly picked a side and I can tell you it's the wrong one.
And btw I am counting on full retro so it's safe to say it's more than one of us. Delta got it. Hawaiian got it. It's industry standard.
Yeah all that, but low labor cost is still one of the, if not the core principal of an ULCC business. Once there's a contract revenue will increase? What?
I'm not managing anything. In fact I couldn't care less how this turn out, though I do enjoy being right
Last I checked this is an open forum for discussing industry topics. That's precisely what I'm doing. Talking about what I think will happen with your contract. You certainly have an opinion on this, though I think it's completely asinine. I'm just here to express mine.
