Why do you feel that way? If they got 330’s you’d be upset?

I appreciate that. I really do want to be here. Its just gotta pencil out. Being an FO for 5+ years doesn't for my situation. Upgrading quickly is one of the paramount reasons, among many, that makes this place very attractive. I hope the rest of the applicants realize the potential slowing as well. I know quite a few that are banking on the fast upgrades. We all have to take a job for what it is, not what it 'could' be. To that, we are getting hired as FOs. Full spectrum, I, like most of us, set risk v reward, "is it worth it?". I want to believe it is. Plus, Spirit pilots are all pretty awesome guys. Work-life will at least be legit if upgrades slow way down.

As long as it is cheaper to have the crew base compared to the cost of overnighting a bunch of crews then it makes sense to have a base. No reason they can’t keep ACY and have BWI. ACY is kind of an outlier but those planes are always full whenever I fly into there.

I’m pretty sure when FLL closes the north runway, the flights out of there will slow to a crawl...
I bet the re surface project had a lot to do with the opening of MCO as a base.

So will Orlando close or pilots get displaced when the FLL runway reopens? It’s hard to believe we would have an entire new base that’s going to be pretty large because of a temporary runway closure.
