I would think avoiding direct competition with the other LCCs and Legacies and entering smaller or midsized markets with more efficient airplanes would be another route. Slugging it out with SWA, JB and F9 daily on large-city competitive routes (ie Chicago to LA or LGA to FLL) probably won’t be a winning strategy - there’s too much competition and capacity and not enough margin. Instead, Spirit could enter more midsized markets like ACY and MYR with less direct LCC competition.
What are you talking about? Spirit’s whole business model is based on large city point to point service with a couple small vacation destinations (MYR/ACY) and they’re printing money.

And ours average about 2200 per side or 4400 pounds per hour give or take a couple hundred pounds. Which is the difference between a geared turbofan and a non-geared turbofan.

Please feel free to to correct me, I recall our NEO's running about 2200 to 2000 lbs/hr per side CI 25. The time to climb is better than the Classic. The NEO engine issues are gone other than the Hoover sucking sound when you power up! LOL
