See under the gate agent issues etc / staffing to some pilots hiding in a bunker. Would love to see some of the people on this thread say with a straight face that that's normal.
And no that's not stuff you can expect or read about before you apply to a job as this meltdown is basically unprecedented in its scope in the modern Era. Still no communication either about what they are really doing if anything to fix it
I’ll tell you with a straight face that it is normal. Not ideal but normal. Don’t expect Spirit or any other ULCC to change their business model and start to staff their whole operation for the couple days a year they have operational difficulties. Ask JetBlue how long it takes to get ahold of scheduling when they are having cancellations. Ask any pilot if they think their company is staffed adequately to handle big weather or cancellation events. Even the legacy’s fall apart. It’s part of the game.
Realistically I think Spirit will put out some press releases saying they’re sorry and going to increases wages so they can hire and retain more. They’ll probably invest a little more in their IT and customer service and claim they’ve solved the meltdown issue. Until they outgrow their changes and it happens again.…
