Thanks-apparently the National and LCC category disappeared the last few days and is now under Majors. Why did this happen? There were a few unique Spirit, Virgin America, and Allegiant threads there that have seemed to vanish.

That's some interpretation on your part!
Southwest as a "Legacy"?!
AirTran as a "Legacy"?!
Better yet, jetBlue as a "LEGACY"?! That was sarcasm right?
And sorry, but Spirit is not a "start up".
I think you might want to brush off your aviation history books, and look at the definitions of "legacy" and "major" airline.
No offense intended.

Then you and many others would be wrong. Skybus and VA sure, but Spirit and Allegiant have been around long enough to not be considered start ups. Just because you never heard of them before, doesn't mean they are new.

I haven't moved them. I guess VA still ends up under Upstart. Not sure about Allegiant. They should be in Majors too.

Your reading comprehension is a bit off. Read my post again slowly. I consider the major category.....Legacy, Southwest, Alaska, etc etc. Following me yet? Besides, up until 2 days ago, there was a separate National/Startup category where ALL the Spirit, Virgin America, and Allegiant posts were located.
(Alaska and Hawaiian are "Legacies" BTW.)
I've been following the Spirit posts for quite awhile on the "Major" category...?
But did I read correctly that you consider Spirit a "start up"?, but not jetBlue?
If I did, I stand by my statement of looking in the history books...
