I’m betting on another summer meltdown in 2020. And doesn’t the COO have exposure here? He’s now overseen numerous meltdowns over multiple years.

So did Bob and Baldanza... they still didn’t learn. My favorite so far has been the great “we don’t have a policy for seat replacement” meltdown, or the classic “fueling policy” meltdown.
Just think, we haven’t had a hurricane yet this tropical storm season!

In the July 24 investor update, Ted explains what is happening and how it'll be better next year, this time for sure.

No one learns/no one cares, nothing will change until we get bought/merged with an airline that does care. And since we don’t have profit sharing I really don’t care how many times it happens.

Still, the wording of the 24 July update is basically "we were counting on PBS to bail us out and it turns out the concession we forced out of the pilots isn't gaining us anything and we're still trying to figure out how to blame it on the pilots again before next year's summer meltdown." Everything old is new again.

Flying the airbus around empty at double pay is something. Not sure how profitable it actually is for the company. It's not just Pilots, we don't have any spare FA's. TC dropped the ball, PBS hasn't done crap for them in the proper staffing of the Company.

Maybe Spirit is reaching on the weather excuse at times, maybe the crew that was supposed to fly the morning trip had their inbound flight canceled from weather somewhere else in the system. This guy flies enough to understand how that stuff works. What's really ridiculous about these scenarios is that we aren't able to limo a RSV crew in from MCO or FLL to cut an 11-hour delay at least in half. Disruptions happen to all airlines, but our recovery is usually abysmal.
