What if the 320 was grounded?
 
I understand not all 737s are grounded but if we had a plane grounded that comprised a large portion of the operation we’d be finished. Hope this max issues gets figured out quick.

Our NEOs have almost certainly racked up more ramp time than those Max will.

True but they were such a small portion of the fleet and from what I’ve heard is Pratt and or Airbus was making spirit whole in some way on the lost block hours. I doubt Boeing is going to foot the bill for a world wide shutdown.

Perhaps they did make NK whole but the pilots lost the block time. I didn’t see any extra flying when those planes were parked.
It’d be a very bad day if, say, all 321’s were parked.

You must be ridiculously bored.

The sky is falling, the sky will fall, the sky might fall, what would happen if the sky fell......folks, we've reached a new level here.

Hypothetical here, what if the company was liquidated? Would that hold up the PBS launch?

Yet another reason for dual fleets. Time to order 100+ CS300s to connect more secondary and tertiary markets.

I hope Bombardier is giving you residuals.

On overnights usually just walking and a meal or two. I’m not on vacation so usually just head out for an hour or two. Winter, don’t do much so lots of APC at work.

At home, get up, get kids ready for school, ride bike to school, after the kids go to school it’s drink coffee for an hour with wife, then honey do’s, errands, lunch with wife, ride bike back to school, monitor/help w homework, play outside or drive to sports, cocktails, dinner, bedtime routine, watch tv with wife, maybe get lucky, wife goes to sleep and I stay up late messing with APC or general interneting.

All can be replaced with different ocean activities on the weekend or when kids are at school.

During free minutes here and there I check out APC or a couple non flying forums I like. I don’t FB or Insta.

Is that good enough for you?

Remind me how long and how many Nightmareliners sat on the ground over a battery.
