I work at NK, I've never credited over 75 hours, my last flight was delayed over 2 hours for no good reason, I hate our paint job, our planes are dirty, and our passengers smell. Your welcome Shy!

Aren't those the things that are most important? I remember the good old days when all we talked about was pu$$y.

I live in Miami. So yes. Not expecting FLL if I was hired at either right out of the gate. And yes QOL is about 50% for me with pay being the other half.
While I agree there is a ton of market available to Spirit, ither players can adapt to meet those markets too. It's not a simple free for all for Spirit. I don't intend to debate the merits of Spirits business model, just simply if JB could have the stability and work rules that trumps the explosive growth at Spirit.

It is realistic to expect a transfer award to FLL within 6mo-1yr though (as long as you were initially awarded an Airbus slot in NYC/BOS)

Is there any chance/talk about parking the 190's? Looking through the financials and the costs and revenue look like the company is moving towards the 321.

Nothing public from the company, but Wall Street wants the E190 fleet reduced to half (currently 60 airframes). I think that is realistic but there is still a lot of life in the airframes before they start going away. The next gen E2-E190 will be out around 2020. We'll see how it performs before B6 makes a decision. (We do have 24 E190 deliveries scheduled after 2020)
