Honestly despite all the little things the future seems pretty bright right now. Our metrics this year are so far really solid (2nd or 3rd for each month of Q1 for A:14) and there are some pax quality of life things coming down the pipeline like wifi and the new seats. All steps in the right direction. I don't really think we will ever fix the bumping thing though. I facepalm every time I'm in LBE or another small airport and we are 4+ oversold because everyone actually showed up.
The only things that still raise question marks for me are fleet orders and the FLL runway closure.

I saw we are a number above American Airlines. Wonder if we should start asking AA pilots if they have their apps in at Spirit. Or if our ZED fare agreement with AA comes up for review again, we might have to tell them no because they are substandard to us.

The runway closure has been in the scheduling plans all along. Some have said we have "shifted" international flying to MCO because of this but that is absolutely not the case. MCO buildup had already planned and the FLL runway had nothing to do with it. Take a look at the summer schedule in FLL. It is out there for everyone to see. I've seen maybe a couple of destinations frequencies down 1 but otherwise it is status quo there in FLL for the summer. We are talking down maybe 3 departures. That's it.
