Sure we'll feel better for "sticking it to the man" but at a huge cost! Maybe you're right, we've been out negotiated, but hopefully we're not so neieve as to allow ourselves to achieve a 30-50 thousand dollar gain while losing 40-80 over that 6-12 months.
Why don’t you time capsule this quote and have it emailed to you in 2025, because you’ll be 2 years past your amendable date (again) with the same type of scumbag management and I bet your math won’t look too SOLID at that time. The likelihood of another U.S. ULCC starting up in the next 5 years and undercutting Spirit based on your scope is so far fetched I don’t know how you can even entertain it. And if Norwegian and WOW are allowed to come and operate between US destinations we’re ALL screwed, but it’ll be the legacies that get the tip of the shaft.
Stop putting lipstick on this 2-dimensional pig (you haven’t even gotten 3-dimensions with the TA yet) . If you need the money now or are content the economic package (& PBS), just say it’s a beautiful pig and be content with your decision. Stop giving people the hard sale for your own selfish reasons.
