Total.
I know Hawaiian, Hawaiian is a friend of mine, you sir are no Hawaiian.



Yeah, I dunno? I think there is some merit for not having any sub-forums so that pilots can share common struggles across company lines. Of course the reality is that this forum is used to also discuss company specific issues.

I guess it's obvious, but have you reached out to internet brands, the owner of this forum, and asked?

Hawaiian is a legacy. And until recently JetBlue was the 5th largest airline in the country. Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, and Sun Country are smaller (<100 planes) non-legacy airlines and don't have a subsection.

Guess you lucked out with Virgin riding on the back of Alaska into the Legacy category.

Why ask the mods for a subsection in the Major forum when we clearly should have our own with the proper title....Low Tier?


Imagine the possibilities.

A Low-Tier forum for all of the deplorable pilots at ULCC airlines would be fun. It should also be a non-moderated section, we don't need a nanny state "safe space".

BTW, the magic number is 3000 pilots, does Spirit have a list 3000 deep?
So asking for opinions about something nominates me for the tool of the day? Lighten up Francis

Thanks for the history lesson nerd.

In 12 months from now, Spirit pilots will be a well compensated non Legacy airline, you'll be a "Low tier Legacy F/O for the next decade". I'm fine with being a "non Legacy pilot"

Btw, how'd you like Trumps speech?

It's shocking that you guys don't get more respect.

No one asked for that and it just happened. Nor did anyone complain on APC about our little LCC not having its own subsection.

The retirement numbers prove you wrong. It's ironic a low tier LCC pilot would call out any legacy carrier for their tier status? I know it sucks to know other LCC FOs make more than you, but that's really no reason to throw out unsubstantiated claims. Trumps speech was great. MAGA

You are even more of a tool now than when you pulled gear for me at Pinnacle. Just shut up already. Alaska doesn't have near the amount of retirements as other Legacy airlines. You know, the real Legacy airlines that you could never get hired at.

I would have rather stayed at Spirit than be an Alaskan F/O for the next ten years.

Good luck, you'll need it
