One thing that jumps out to me is your Presidents energy about "smaller carrier" mergers to compete against the " big four."

The Spirt deal might be done, but it sure sounds like Biffle is very interested in another merger. I might be wrong, but that's my read.

Sorry, as I know the topic is exhausting after all you guys just went through with Spirit, but I don't think the music has stopped playin and Biffle is looking for another dance partner.

In any event. Be well, good luck, and thanks for the jumpseats.

I like the way that even though it's a very busy holiday time at the airline operationally, he feels no compunction giving a national TV interview while sitting on the porch of what looks to be his Steamboat Springs slopeside condo. I guess it's not just the airline that is ULCC, it's leadership as well.

Default Bags

I’ve taken 35 min delays due to gate agents charging for bags. I’ve had all I can take of it, I’m now putting in the delay reports of the delay. Makes no sense to me to delay a flight 35 mins because of charging for bags. You wanna charge for bags do it before boarding not while boarding. Absolutely ridiculous.

I have taken probably 20 minute delays for it, forgot about that. The list of stupid sh*t that goes on around this policy and this airline in general is too long to keep and access in my head.

The last few captains I flew with have told me they have begun putting that into their delay reports.

I've taken a couple delays, luckily not that bad. I guess my buddy brought it up to Brad in ground school and he acted like he had no idea and basically laughed it off.

Gotta get those ancillary gainz bro!

Ya ya we are well aware. What would you like us pilots to do?

I actually don’t think this is too bad of a decision. I can certainly say waiting on hold for SOC is a giant pain in my arse when I would much prefer an IM system.

Brad was on the last town hall and blew it off as well. Said we have to train our customers of rules that have already been in place. He also laughed off the idea it is a safety issue for FA’s to load a plane full of angry pax.

Enforcing the bag fees is one thing. This shake down they got going on is completely different.
