Southwest is trying to rebrand themselves as well and enter the premium space so it could be an option. Frontier/Spirit are already dancing partners, and then there's Breeze, which does nothing for us except give us more 220s.
But as it's been said already, we cannot continue on like this. If there's no profit or break even in any of 2026, I think we'll be entering a spiral that will only be fixed with restructuring. I wish we had real management that has real vision like the big guys have.
Say it louder for the people in the back (or at the top).
But yeah I honestly CANNOT wrap my head around the fact there has been no lawsuit, no outcry, not a single story regarding the fact our stock has plummeted far more than any other airline in our category. Spirit and frontier don’t count. How can the BODs and large shareholder be so complacent? No other job in corporate America would be okay with this happening unless you’re the next Amazon. And we are a 25 year established airline.
