To say Spirit is not our peer is disingenuous. F9 has been emulating Spirit ever since we rebranded as a ULCC. You can deny it all you want , but I like most people lose respect for anyone who takes such a ridiculous position. It's like staking you reputation on the fact that a 1992 Chevy Camaro is a completely different car than a 1992 Pontiac Firebird.

Right now this is a double edge sword. Yes we are very similar but our direct competitor is going out of business. We could get amazing traction with the loss of a direct competitor ,but we need to move a better contract would reduce so many problems around here from freeing up the training department, reducing training costs (75K per new hire) increase real flying experience across the pilot group. All of which make for a smoother running more profitable airline.

We can all pay rock bottom prices for just about anything. But do we?

If F9 want's to survive we need to rise above garbage tier
