ULCCs Model Won’t Work
How many new jets do Frontier and Spirit have coming?
If they hire 100 a month and 75 leave how can they fly the additional aircraft?
UAL, AA and DAL will not have trouble filling their classes. They just keep lowering their minimums.
Spirit, Frontier, Alaska, JetBlue, etc need to bite the bullet right now and match or exceed legacy contracts. Otherwise they will not only not grow, they will have to shrink. Kirby is playing chess and they are playing checkers.
ULCCs pay the same for fuel, the same for parts, they can pay the same for pilots. Or die a slow death.
