The sources of these rumors were base chief pilots and training guys fwiw.
I’ve heard the plan of doubling Vegas within 2 years from the Vegas base chief as well. However what Spirit wants and even plans for isn’t always what happens (remember the LGA and SJU base and all the flying we were supposed to start out of those). I also heard that this LAS expansion is contingent on G4 giving up some gate space. Not trying to rain on the Vegas parade, I really want Vegas to grow as well. Not expecting it, but will be pleased when it happens.
