Something is going down. The numbers don't add up.
Of course they don’t......it’s F9.....all these poolies got fooled by the “shiny object” (CBA) into thinking it was a well managed place.......rookies.......

Good. I had recently talked to one of your pilots and they said hiring and upgrades over there were stagnant and had been for a while. 56, sounds lofty. I hope it happens.

I do find it odd that we are netting 1.25 airplanes a month and no hiring. I believe we are over staffed, but not to that degree.
My 2 cents.
Google Reverse IPO. It can be done that way and it would be Indigo coughing up the money.

Indigo has the cash to buy Spirit.

Spirit doesn't have the cash to buy Frontier.

A merger right now makes zero sense.

A percentage IPO makes perfect sense. Pays FAPA invest, and puts money in Indigo's pocket.

But why does that require cancelled classes and I heard a cancelled upgrade class. Someone is buying F9.

Cancelled classes make plenty of sense for an upcoming IPO. They need to show the lowest possible cost for labor as they can to bump up the price of stock and we’re currently overstaffed. They will run us as lean as they can for the foreseeable future.

Not likely, Spirt isn’t even close to being considered a shell corporation.

Summer 2018 version 2.0!! Look to see our already vomit and delaaaaay stained reputation get drug through the mud again as block hours increase, crews per plane decrease and pilots scale back on the open time adds.

Indigo “coughing up money”...that’s funny!! Indigo doesn’t need Spirit to see their plan through to completion.
