maybe Spirit can open a BOG, SAL, PTY, LIM and/or SJO base and have local pilots start trips out of those cities. That will attract more pilots from Central/South America and we can headhunt pilots from Avianca, Copa, and LAN Peru.
we can even go Great Lakes style and have FO’s who have their 1500 do their training and take their ATP check ride in the aircraft at 2AM while it RON at that station.
