Everyone was awarded DEN in class. Some wanted CHI and and could not get it. 17 new hires and one returning from an LOA.

Rumor is no significant increase in airframes until the IPO. They say IPO could be in 2 years.
Indigo doesn't want to spend a lot of their own money on airframes when they can wait for the IPO and have the shareholders pay for them. |
Cross,
All kinds of rumors out there. With due respect to your sources, the math doesn't add up. 1. Indigo isn't paying for airframes; those on property in the next few years will be 'bargain' leases, which are complete tax write offs as operating expense. I'm sure NEOs will be leases as well. 2. Indigo's M.O. with Spirit was aggressive, steady growth as a tool to increase valuation 3. Current and forecast hiring is in line with the projections I heard last winter for a few more airframes this year (including the white tail in paint down at Goodyear right now), @10 next year prior to NEO deliveries. 4. How can we support all of the announced new flying with current airframes? I realize higher utilization is part of the model, but that will largely be accomplished via the increase in cdo's and redeyes. Anyway, all conjecture at this point. |
Do you guys foresee hiring going into late next year? What are the mins to be competitive? Do LORs carry much weight?

Jungle Rat, I heard that's what Siegle said in a recent ground school.

Surely there is an aviation financial buff out there that has an understanding of how they did this each time. That person I am not. Anyone know? Care to share? Can we reverse engineer a likely playbook? |
