Jet Blue would be a better comparison. SWA does a lot more than service Florida. If both NKS and WN cancel 130 flights then NK is at 16% ad WN is at 3%.
The question is whether B6 is just playing the delaying until cancellation game or if they’re running a superior program? Is Spirit playing that game too, or are they just proactively canceling everything to try and stand the airline back up?
I am most unimpressed with this airline of late, but you have to think a bit past the surface numbers to see just how bad we’re doing it not doing.
