Out of FLL, they can hook up with Spirit.

Know someone who had to come from Rome on short notice...NAI - $400, DAL - $2000. Guess who she chose?

That's only one city. Besides, Spirit caters to a passenger demographic that is of very little threat to AA, UAL, and DAL when it comes to international travel. How about on a larger scale and all the infrastructure that mega-hubs such as ATL, MIA, JFK LAX, etc have to offer.

Believe me, I'm anti-NAI and I hope to God it gets shot down by Trump and his anti-globalization administration. I'm just saying that to become a real and hardcore threat to well-paying legacy wide-body jobs, there are going to have to be a lot of pieces that fall into place.

I still wonder if some companies saw this coming, eg, United.

Deferred significant aircraft orders. Instead of competing for low-yield vacation travellers on NAI, has made significant investment in premium service with Polaris.

To try and fill the back of the plane, they have the new Economy Minus (forget what it's really called).

It might work, if schedule, cabin service, and inflight wifi reliability hold steady or improve. My only major criticism these days is poor wifi, which almost never works on the 767-300 (not United's fault; it is Panasonic).

Squash them like Laker.

Vacation to MXP from JFK Delta $650 r/t and Emirates $650 as well. I chose the one with the better service, food, and IFE.

ALPA didn't support or endorse either Obama or Clinton nor did ALPA-PAC give money to the presidential candidates of either party.

If only the the legacies had donated to the Clinton Foundation when every else did this never would have happened.

It's no different than what the legacy carriers are doing by using "Regional" airlines. Which in reality are just low cost contract carriers used to circumvent having to pay more mainline personnel the union negotiated rates.

This guy gets it!^^^^^^^^^^

This is HLARIOUS! Most mainline guys didn't give a damn about the thousands of regional guys making 1/3 of what they do for doing the SAME EXACT JOB for the last 20 years as long as it kept their pockets lined. Where was the uproar about "low paying aviation jobs" then? It's only now, when they feel that THEIR checkbooks are threatened, the is sky falling. Karmas a ***** aint it fellas?
