My wife flew on the MD80 last week for work and said it was terrible and preferred our planes lol. I have worked under AA, DL, UA, F9, and midwest at my other company and I'm impressed with spirit operations. New guys get on now and dont be fooled by the few that talk spirit down. Its Its actually pretty great with mostly one or 2 leg days. If i do 3 legs im working to hard lol
Easy there skippy 290 planes is smaller than current jetblue not the big 4 and that’s 7 years from now. The big 4 have 800-1000 planes just at mainline not counting their feeders.
So you worked at probably republic under all the legacies and you’re impressed by our operations. Ya don’t say. How majors operate their regionals and how they operate their mainline are completely different. I’m glad spirit is better than your regional. I supposed to be! It’s got a long way to go on our side and the corporate side to be a real player. We don’t have much of a chance if people set the bar as better than my regional.
