Your assessment is not rooted in fact or reality. . You think Pratt just writes a blank check to Spirit based on the number of seats and the price of a ticket? Sorry, no.
Spend a few minutes and look at the PW payments for this last quarter and the AOGs and last flight hours and tell me if PW is using your formula. In fact, they aren’t even writing Spirit a check for the AOGs. The overwhelming majority of the agreed on damages are being used as a credit for Spirit to use for maintenance and parts for Pratt. Yes, Spirit got food poisoning from Denny’s but instead of getting a refund and money for the hospital bill, they got coupons for more Denny’s.
