Southwest is the company that could take the battle to us if they choose to...

Comes a point where American will need to focus on making money instead of undercutting Spirit. It only gets tougher for them if/when fuel goes up and the economy slows.

Their **** poor service isn’t helping them. I do love and appreciate the irony of a Spirit pilot saying that; times a be a changing

56 new hires a month and 20 upgrades a month, might just be more than mco. If say bwi opens before the end of the year.

Aa is adding 100 flights a day out of dfw with the new e gates. Be nice to see some growth in dfw.

Nk going from @18 departures a day in the winter to @ 33 for the summer. Be nice to see that go to 50 plus.

bwi??!!!! No more bases!!!

All the runway closures?! I hope there is no more than one, that place will have big problems otherwise.

Haha.

Runway closure(s). I guess he is referring to the closing of 10L and 28R

YUP! The Airport told the Airlines the need for a pull down while construction takes place.

But I was told there would upgrades and new hires everywhere [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] side note this vacancy bid doesn’t surprise me at all.

So why would there be more than that if they’ve publicly said that hiring and upgrades won’t ramp up until July?
