Deferring airplanes, we absolutely can. If the terms of the original purchase agreements have materially changed (unit cost increase due to tariffs) the contracts will be cancelled. Do you think the French are somehow going to force F9 to to buy an airplane they don't want/can't afford? Ha! Keep dreaming.

Delta certainly claims they will defer orders if aircraft are 20% more expensive. It will be interesting to see what happens here with our order book as well. Many as of yet unknowable factors could make a Spirit merger more or less attractive very quickly in our near future. We are in uncharted waters now again for the second time in 5 years.

Default Cognitive Assessment

Hey Gents, I just got the email for the online assessment from Frontier. I just wanted to see what it entails and if any of y’all used anything to prepare for it. My background is probably a bit different than a lot of people here. I just left a major airline and before that I worked for other airlines. So, I’ve taken and passed other cognitive tests BUT I’ve always done something to prep for them beforehand. I assume the personality assessment will be along the lines of the others I took…

I did the assessment last fall - I was really really straightforward. 75% personality stuff, then some conginitive finish the pattern or spacial reasoning multiple choice questions. I didnt do any prep or any secret method of choosing my answers. Got invite to interview about half hour after sunmitting it. Do whats best for you. If you've been in the game for a while, the way I look at it, Frontier would be much better than boppin around a regional, but thats just my opinion.
