Excuse the new guy questions but, so far everyone has provided thoughtful and clear responses, so thank you for that.

New question: in my research so far, it appears that Spirit is purchasing approximately 50(+-)new aircraft.

Is that still accurate?

If so, is this an expansion of the fleet or replacement aircraft?

My simple math says, and it’s a generic SWAG, an aircraft needs about 10-16 pilots per to operate. Is Spirit expanding that big now?

Guess what I’m getting at is, sounds like a great time to get onboard and ride the seniority wave......or, is the future not as bright as it appears to me?

Thanks for entertaining my ignorant questions. Trying to figure it all out.
