Motley Fool article on our Short Staffing

Heres the paragraph discussing it.....
"Spirit Airlines' poor June operational performance indicates that the pilots have been right to say that the carrier is understaffed. Operational performance may improve in the fall, when aircraft utilization tends to decline seasonally. However, before the 2018 peak season, Spirit Airlines absolutely must increase staffing and mend fences with its pilots, in order to keep flight cancellations under control."

You beat me to it chimpy!!!
The last part I find somewhat positive. The investment community is starting to hear our message. Now, if management could just pull their heads out of each other's asses....

I doubt they will change anything because the RASM is up 5% even with the cancellations. All they have to do is get to September 1 and They will have a whole winter season to figure out how to blame the pilots again. Our only hope is if the investors get skittish and start hammering the board.

If they continue to be unreasonable and we continue to ask for what's completely reasonable it's time for a strike vote and time to convince the NMB that the company is never going to come around and we aren't going to settle for less than industry standard. Time to push for release.

I hope it doesn't remind me of Jimmy's rendition of the '12 Days of Christmas '....
