You would have to do this month after month. Plus it’s not the norm it was just the past year. That’s my whole point bubba.
Work rules, Bubba...get some. We can drop to 0 and pick up anything and everything all over the original footprint for premium. Heck, they even have to pay us an extra 6 hours of pay just to get us to "hurry up" to the airport for a 200% 4 day trip.
Meltdowns are every year here...they are the norm.
Spirit is not FedEx, striving to deliver the world on time, or is that UPS? We run lean and that makes our pockets fat. Our major hub is in hurricane alley and we are growing a second base just up the road.
