What’s going on? I got an email that reminded me of Christmas past “if your not working help out” type crap. I’m not working or helping out...

Also, Spirit edged out American for customer satisfaction.

So the question is do Delta and American pilots have their apps in at Spirit?

Of course not and you know that. The point is that Spirit has changed and people are starting to notice...

2 steps forward, 1 step back

Great progress but once again the company shows that a rain shower has the potential to upend the operation like it has the last week.

They wanted rescheduling provisions and can’t even find how to use it to help with these meltdowns.

Leadership comes from the top and once again, it’s lacking. Ok Bendo loves to grin and smile on his ridiculous video streams about how awesome it all is, but when the times get tough, big boy get going. Instead they make Rodosta the whipping boy to send the emails out while ol Teddy picks out artwork for the CEO suite and Bendo searches for the perfect polo shirt on untuckit.com.

Pretty sure most anyone operating on the east coast had a bad weekend. Which is to say most everyone in the airplane flying business.

Spirit took the cake on this one. Looking at the cancelation percentages on flight aware this weekend for Spirit vs any other airline not named “Air Namibia,” Spirit stunk it up

The problem with the % argument is that we’re a small airline. It doesn’t take a lot to go wrong for it to end up in a large percentage of our operation going off the track. Particularly when Florida is getting schwacked.

I mean, I’ll give spirit the benefit of the doubt in most situations but come on. Maybe the Friday meltdown was understandable due to the weather but it’s Sunday and we still haven’t dug ourselves out yet. Everyone else got back on track yesterday.
