That works on a personal level.
This is an airline, severely affected but fuel prices, which could not make a profit consistently when the price of jet fuel was cheap, and almost every other airline was making a profit.
On top of that our union was just blown into pieces, totally busted. We effectively have no union right now. I only have a few years left. I thought I was going to retire here, at F9. I am now considering moving on. This is not about being positive or negative. It’s about seeing reality the way it is. It’s not looking good. I wish it was and I hope it changes for the better, and fast. I have been here for over ten years and this is the weakest and most fragile I have seen our airline. And we have virtually no union. Especially if you are on the younger side, you should try to get out ASAP. I hope I am wrong.
Then move on. It's never too late. And so will others. I think and hope most have learned from what Spirit is going through. I am personally going to stick it out. Even with fuel doubling, Frontier has over a year of runway before things go really south. When/If things dont change at the end of the year, I might reconsider.
