Chance to be number 1, 2, 3, 4, etc... on a seniority list of an airline started by a dude with a history of starting successful airlines. And guys went to Spirit and Frontier, and JB, with SHAT pay. So yeah, they'll go to Moxy.

Neeleman is 3 for 3 in starting airlines. Basically an enigma in an industry plagued by failure.

You struggle with basic concepts of communication.

I have been predicting additional Airbus deferrals, you (Coolhand) say no. I guess we'll find out.

I guess we found out.

Some people see things coming, others are unable.

Staffing isn’t the reason for the deferrals, PW engine issues are the cause. We aren’t the only ones not taking the planned amount of deliveries either.

Are the PW engine issues causing us to push back the 220s ? Hmmm.

Honestly I think it has less to do with staffing and more to do with no vision or idea where to expand. The ELT seems quite happy stalling hull growth. When the retrofits are complete what will our ASM growth be? 1-2%?

You are correct, but I caution you. Some on here belong on bluepilots and can't accept these facts. Are we staffed properly? No we are not across the board. But with the tools management has such as supplemental bidding, and RSA/VDAs, I am sure they are not worried about differing planes due to staffing.
