Automation my boy. No need for the humans in India. You been on reserve lately? A text bot assigns that trip now. All airlines converted to computer based systems recurrent training years ago, it’s a matter of time that 1 day in person class will be too. I’d be surprised though, if they outsourced sim instruction; too many problems. Bob Ford and Bob Harrison are just starting. Been to a store lately? Self checkout has been around for a few years. 10 checkout machines with surveillance, and 1 human. You never thought this wouldn’t be implemented at the airport? Spirit isn’t throwing noodles at the wall to see what sticks. Anything aviation is slow to modernize, but it eventually does. Employees are an unknown quantity, computers aren’t. You’re witnessing in real time Spirit using bankruptcy, with the help of investors; to take that leap. Shedding debt, and shedding ‘replaceable’ employees in just a few months; all made easier with chapter 11. Other airline C suites are jealous. Never let a crisis go to waste.
