IF Spirit places an order for CEO Airbus 319s, the article would be relevant, but as of this morning, lots of NEOs coming

As of this morning? Did I miss some news this morning?

Allegedly we put our hands on some more Neo’s from another failed airline. Fleet plan is supposed to be in the 190’s now.

That explains the 60+ a month hiring wave. I would guess mngnt learned the short staffing model is a bad plan.

Who knew you needed pilots to run an airline? Apparently management didn't.

We seem to be just as short on flight attendants as we are with pilots. I personally ferried an empty plane leaving the passengers behind due to no flight attendants, and I’ve heard of it happening several other times lately.

Along with the 60+ pilots a month the training center is also running 120 FA a month.
