This is the crux of where we see things differently.

A "newbie AA CA" would be someone who was a CA on the merged list (most fences down) who has only sat in the left seat for a handful of years, in my book. They flew with a former TWA CA, now a FO, who had sat in the left seat for 10+ years, before the buyout. It happened with regularity.

Very Nice SnapUp for B6 pilots!

It’s going to be an interesting investor day announcement in May. Call me crazy, but if B6 is willing to pay $69M to Spirit to mutually agree to walk away before the JetBlue $3.4B financing expires. I wonder want they plan to do with the money?

Maybe it’s just organic growth, on-time performance and reliability😜….and double down on culture?

We are leasing 330s...leveraging the premium real estate in BOS/JFK/FLL/LAX to sell as many Mint seats as possible (at a discount to legacies) to the markets where it works...throw in a cargo op (which MSG absolutely has the competence to stand up), and we might actually have a good stable money-printing machine like we had pre-COVID

What money? We don’t make money to reinvest into the operation or to fuel growth.

*Financed.* We were going to borrow money to make money. Pretty common.
