It might explain why they are hiring Capts and FOs. Did they not send 6 or 7 airplanes to the place that starts with an S? Wouldn’t they get first rights? My point, is this is exactly how 36th street airlines operate, always have always will. Now as far as starting another LCC right now, I think it’s Nuckin’ Futs but I thought that about JetBlue and boy did I get that one wrong. You can take the airline out of Miami but not Miami out of the airline. 36th street has always been a plague on the industry not matter what or where they came from. It just kept A LOT of scabs employed and I have an utter distaste for scabs.
All just taking points not trying to have an argument. It’s getting hit over the head lessons here. Oohhhh, no it’ Whhhaaaaa!

they moved to Miami when aerosale an aircraft parts and leasing company bought them. After about 6 months in Miami they fired all the xtra managers and brought in guys from defunct skyking. These guys ran a lot of people off by gutting the work rules etc. So many people left in such a hurry that the training department was shut down essentially stopping the planned expansion and resulting in their demise.
yeah they kept that 400 flying to keep the certification alive. The guys who bought it are planning another ULCC, we'll see how that goes and they've already hired and trained initial guys. They are headquartered in Huston so maybe they are moving out of the Miami FSDO.
I totally agree about the 36th street statements..
