so Dracir, who would you say F9’s peers/comparators are and why? I’m genuinely curious because I think you’re smart and informed and might have some good reasoning that we could use over here at Allegiant because we are getting pidgeon holed into NK, F9, MX, and SY when we obviously compared to AK, WN, DL, et al the legacies.
The answer for f9 is our peer group is anyone flying a 320/321 airbus in the USA. The company then reverts to the lowest paid. UAL was one at one point. We need UAL bankruptcy rates. Doesn’t matter who that is at the time. They have lots of reasons. First class, international, ect… the rebuttal argument is we’re giving you an additional 50 seats to offset first class and we go international. Now whether or not this resonates with the nmb kind of depends on the composition of the nmb bod.
