Growth hasn't stopped YET.

I know there are no guarantees.

As for using Spirit and Frontier as peers, are they not at their end-stages of contract negotiations? Why would we include them when their contracts are horribly outdated and will be brought up to or near industry standard in the near future? I think including Spirit and Frontier is an illogical and terrible idea and hope our NC does NOT agree with you!

Spirit and Frontier compete with Delta and fly Airbuses. Did Delta accept less in their new CBA? Or did they ignore BAD DATA and charge ahead with pay rates that triggered pay raises at UAL and AA? For your reference our profit margins (the only real relevant and scalable metric) are much higher than Delta's.
