Oh, I wouldn’t think SAVE would be his target. Just shooting down some of the nonsense about being a pilot under Buffet.

Given that ol Teddy said that Q3 costs would be much higher, because of their staffing screw ups, I have to assume the stock will drop more once earnings are released. With Spirit, nothing ever seems to be priced in, so I would be shocked if it didn’t drop again after Q3.

Now when it drops again, that’s when I would possible see someone coming in.

Teddy is going to roll out this new fuel policy in a few weeks to try and improve his cost numbers. Flashback to the Indigo days where planes were planned at 4.0 landing.

But if it were SWA, don't you worry. WHACK is planning on giving a new hire his seniority. Because that is only fair. Right wack?

The only thing good about SWA would be having better places to live. Other than that, no.

With the 737max debacle
They need planes and pilots
Many planes and pilots
140 and 60 or so orders will be the max that SWA ordered and is about to cancel and go on different path with 2 fleets

For sure! Forget their pay scale and trip rigs that allow you to easily have 18 days off a month, right?

Forget their Junior Manning at the end of a 4 day, right?

Also their lack of flexibility in dropping their schedule. The only way to drop there is to have someone else pick up your trip.
