I think between spirit and frontier we have saturated the market and collected all the low hanging fruit available. Growing from here is going to prove challenging imo. Maintaining this size is going to be challenging with our current management wants a merger no matter what.
Working for indigo also not a viable option. Same business model and market forces, and we all know how it worked out the first time around.
one good hope for the future of ULCC is that the USA’s middle classes will continue to shrink as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
so eventually, these people that are on the fringe with flying a legacy will eventually have to switch over to a ULCC as their relative income dwindles over time.
