My take away is Spirit will be ready to gain new assets, meet the flying demand when it hopefully returns mid summer and the next steps will be contingent on getting the grant money.
There was nothing new to say. The questions were really goofy, except from those FOs with straight ones (thanks), so like good politicians, they adapted and played along to keep the crowd cheering. We wouldn’t expect a statement like “if we don’t take the government money, half of you are gone next month”.
Having said this, I do appreciate how laidback our company is, all the way up to Ted. I did like to see a clear tone of confidence and not cockiness. We’ll find out about the government grant at the beginning of next week.
