Since our POI is furloughed and the government is in partial shutdown you probably won't see any aircraft get accepted, the wifi is probably tied to the shutdown too. As far as welcome letters go, probably just a lack of leadership. Running the numbers isn't the same as rallying the troops.

What other airline runs a wifi system with the seat density that Spirit does?
Remember the initial restriction on leaving the back row of seats empty.
Purely rumor, the system weights to much, maybe removed.

NASA lost its $125-million Mars Climate Orbiter because spacecraft engineers failed to convert from English to metric measurements when exchanging vital data before the craft was launched, space agency officials said Thursday.
A navigation team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory used the metric system of millimeters and meters in its calculations, while Lockheed Martin Astronautics in Denver, which designed and built the spacecraft, provided crucial acceleration data in the English system of inches, feet and pounds.
As a result, JPL engineers mistook acceleration readings measured in English units of pound-seconds for a metric measure of force called newton-seconds.
In a sense, the spacecraft was lost in translation.
"That is so dumb," said John Logsdon, director of George Washington University's space policy institute. "There seems to have emerged over the past couple of years a systematic problem in the space community of insufficient attention to detail."

Some of you people crack me up..
High level top secret NK/Frontier merger meeting at an undisclosed location:
“Well I think we have most of the broad strokes of the deal worked out, I don’t see any reason why a merger won’t go through. That being said, what say we start sharing supplies and ground personnel and save a bit of cash for our bonuses?”
But sir, aren’t you worried that a few astute, switched on pilots will notice these things and break the news?
“Do you have any idea how much money we are wasting on cups!!!???”
But sir, it will be all over APC forums within hours, certainly we can’t keep a lid on it and control the spin!
“I know... we will shut of the WiFi on the one plane that has it, then they can’t post anything.... problem solved!”
Hearty round of applause from across the board room table ensues

Another interesting article. Delta thinks the A220 is the “coolest” airplane in its fleet:
