Get over the butthurtness and/or inferiority complexes and instead start kicking butt. If Spirit can’t out compete companies trying to compete with the wrong aircraft types for the mission or with billions of dollars of those high priced international aircraft parked while they are paying leases or bond interest on them, then Spirit doesn’t deserve respect. Win the recovery and you’ll get plenty of respect. This is the environment the ULCC model was designed for.



Time to seize the moment.
