but we sell off all our planes, open bank branches and become bank tellers and just push the alaska airlines credit card that can be redeemed by all the “code shares”

Hey!!!! OTZ was RIGHT!
BIG announcement today…. Creation of a brand new officer level position overseeing staff resource management!!! WHY? According to the email, so we can do some needed POST PANDEMIC scale back of our business? “And why would we want to do THAT?” you may ask? So that we can give whatever is left of our customer base reliability and excellence so that which will enable the “predictable growth”…. Later.
I for one just have to say BRAVO everyone!!! Who wants to capitalize on this chitty totally unpredictable growth when we can take this opportunity to scale back and be ready for the predictable growth!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Apparently someone got a little video of him on his first day on the job managing of flight crew staffing…..

"centralizing these functions." "across divisions to bring an enterprise view." "An organizational design process." "fiscal responsibility and discipline." "Process Improvement and Execution."
That's a lot of $10 words to say, "we're doing **** all."

Maybe they could just hire the “Bob’s”? Probably be just as effective as their plan.

I had to laugh at just how many corporate-isms and buzzwords they're willing to throw around to just avoid spending any actual money. I also think it's pretty funny that they're so focused on "training center throughput" - maybe the training center wouldn't have to work so hard if pilots didn't keep leaving left and right? Or is the attrition somehow the training department's fault now too?

How does Spirit reject JetBlue’s more superior offer? I thought the fiduciary responsibility meant to go with the higher $$$ offer for investors because both Frontier and JetBlue were qualified buyers?
Because I recall jetBlue offering $55/share for Virgin and Alaska offering $57/share, and Virgin took the Alaska offer. Despite the fact VX/B6 made way more sense (similar business model, fleet, easier integration, etc).
With Sprontier moving forward, this definitely leaves the door open for an Alaska/JetBlue combination someday. JetBlue buying Spirit would have closed that door.

It’s ain’t over. JB will go directly to the share holders for a hostile takeover.
$21 vs $33 is the option they have right now. NK down 8% just today.

In a letter sent to JetBlue, Spirit Chairman Mac Gardner said that JetBlue's bid had “an unacceptable level of closing risk" that shareholders would have to take on.
