Widebody stuff ebbs and flows. With Russian airspace, TLV, changing which fleets fly where there will always be people who hit it just right and get to stay home. I am at UAL and every Spirit guy I know loves their schedule. There are people that are glued to their phones here at united trying to get what they want and they still aren’t able to pull everything they want.
