I’m not buying it either. My predictions:
1. Displacement bid (prob. more than one) to realign the flying. Displacements from “good bases”.
2. More red eye flying.
3. More Tuesday/Wednesday (prob red eye) flying
4. More day turns. Less multi day turns.
those 4 things will be more than enough to “make some of you unhappy.”
ymmv

I'm not sure about Robinhood or other sources, but the expected Q4 date got moved from the 3rd to the 6th, and now to the 17th. We'll see. Hopefully, this 30 days doesn't turn into 90 days. I still haven't seen a 1st Class Seat on our planes, and we're almost halfway through Q1.

The company is definitely teasing something on the social media pages. I'm sure it'll be not very exciting and probably have little effect on us. Maybe wifi, maybe finally show off the 1st class seats. Maybe have nothing to do with us at all.

Sounds reasonable to me. If they readout want to crank up the block hours significantly, a lot of what you said is basically inevitable.

I am having a hard time processing this. It's just dumb. the only smart thing about it is it ends on the 22nd. but I am sure someone will figure out an exploit by then. We are going to be giving away free flights to what will be disappointed passengers who are expecting a happy meal toy level of quality. Yet will somehow still be underwhelmed. It also reinforces in consumers minds the concept that our product it Cheap ,Inexpensive and Low Cost. This is a time to move away from that. We need to show quality to paying passengers. This is nuts. We can't do a water service for paying passengers, but we can just give away free flights for life to some guy for a 17 day marketing campaign.
I hope this is the last parting gift from Biffle, and in the future our marketing teams can stop giving stuff away.

First class, WIFI Nope. try free flights for hoarders. We are going to take old camel cash, Papa johns points, McDonald's points, Pepsi Points. In exchange we will give them free flights. In a scheme that I can only think was dreamed up because somebody wants something out of these redemption catalogs.
