Again, do yourself a favor and re-read this and think about how Spirit could use something with this low CASM and flexibility:

Just think about how many secondary markets could benefit from Spirit service - markets like Dean Moines, Spokane, Syracuse, Baton Rouge and Harrisburg, to name a few. Older A319s and A320s would not be economical in a number of these markets - but an airplane like the CS300 is already 25% more efficient than the A319/20. Suddenly these markets are more viable and you can offer shorter connections to bigger markets or skip them and fly routes like Dean Moines to FLL or SYR to PHX profitably. You can’t beat the economics - especially as fuel costs are starting to rise again. Overall, the CSeries is a great airplane and I would love to see it in Spirit’s taxi cab yellow colors.
