Lots of other stuff can happen, delivery slots can be swapped, options can be traded, but for delta to just give 100 planes and 100 options to a competitor is just likely not going to happen.

The new hotel policy under the new contract (and post PBS) has created far more short stay hotels as the company builds shorter layovers into the pairings.
Part of the savings the company has realized with the short stay hotels is the reduced need for private transportation since short stay hotels usually provide van service.
We’re also seeing far more short stay hotels which are not full service, meaning to hotel restaurant/bar and fake food for breakfast (powdered eggs, meat-like bacon).

Just because it’s s short stay the hotel quality should not be reduced. BOS short sucks. PIT short sucks. DFW short sucks. CMH short sucks.

All Hotels weather long or short should be full service and at least a Crowne Plaza/Marriott/Hilton/Sheraton quality.

Maybe we can use Delta’s NEOs as a place to sleep at night.

Almost half way into the month and still no aircraft order announcement as promised in investors call. Can’t say that I’m surprised. I do wonder how investors feel though....being lead on and on about a new order and growing the airline.

As an investor I'd say get the house in order before taking on additional risk in the form of aircraft debt but I'd love to see sustainable growth at Spirit. Keep the planes full and strive for repeat customers. Celebrating a cancelled flight in front of stranded passengers isn't the smartest move and I see it all too often in the terminal. The revenue lost doesn't stop at just one flight if people are not going to come back in the future.

Man I hear ya. Some of the conversations I hear in the terminal and on the van in front of the public make me cringe. Mostly FAs but some pilots too. It’s like people don’t understand the the folks you are running your mouth around are the ones paying the money.

FAs mainly, yup. It’s ridiculous. I’ve been deadheading and have had FAs talking openly about how they hope their next flight is canceled, and loud about it. Zero oversight on FAs. It’s amazing because it seems they have an enforceable list of a million things they can get “points”’for, yet nobody makes sure they get off their phone during boarding or have the window shades closed in the summer.



And as discussed, they get profit sharing IF we ever see it

I never understood the “I hope it cancels” mentality. For one, you’re ruining a lot of people’s plans (vacations/funerals/birthdays/ births of a family member/etc) because you’re selfish and want to go have a drink at the hotel. Two, cancellations are never as easy as: “you’re cancelled, here’s a really nice hotel on the beach and a car is outside waiting to take you there.” It’s usually a major cluster F where you sit around for 2 hours waiting for them to find a hotel then you get minimum rest just to deadhead at the crack of dawn to pick up the rest of your trip.

they aren’t really ruining anything, though are they? I mean, hoping something cancels isn’t making a wish that if suddenly comes true is because it was made. It was going to cancel regardless.



Is it poor taste to announce that hope I’m hearing range of people that would be impacted? Absolutely!

Can anyone confirm this? I was told SAVE stock trading window has been suspended for all higher management. I guess it can only mean big news is coming next week.

That is correct, in a filing from yesterday, the SEC had suspended trading for all senior managment pursuant to section § 78u–1.

Boeing has added 24 787’s to its order total from an “unknown customer”

Searching Spirit's filings on the SEC website last reveals the 8K and 10KQ reports, nothing about 78u-1. Do you have the document link, or is this another "source"?

There is a fairly recent undisclosed order for 15 A321 NEOs though. Also wonder if a stock buyback could cause a freeze on employee stock purchases. Seems like pretty good timing to do so at the current price.

Wasn't wondering if we could buy it or not, was curious if a buyback freezes purchases for execs.
