Spirit owns all the 319s so they are a perfect tool to use to manage our flight volume. If demand stays low, keep them parked. If demand comes back at all, well, so do the 319s
I think we are still gate constrained in a number of places. I know I’m pretty ****ed at ORD for suddenly finding room for WN despite telling us that there were no gates.
Honestly, if I didn’t think half of the WN/NK pax will invariably end up at the wrong airport, I’d demand three to five gates at MDW at the point of another federal lawsuit.
Another ORD hustle, which is unsurprising considering it’s a less well run version of Burundi.
At least there is political pluralism in Burundi and the asset to debt ratio is controllable.
