Probably some mid level manager that just got hired.

Looks like this summer Spirit Airlines will be the ones sitting back eating popcorn and watching the other airlines meltdown.

Even with high attrition they seem to have it figured out so far. What do y’all think? Plenty of time left in the summer for something to go awry?


(I guess it’s not technically summer for three more days, although it feels like it)

Yeah I didn’t wanna give Any kudos to the company so far this summer because I know the wrath I would receive in here. But I keep track of the cancellations most days of the week and spirit has had a good streak going. I don’t expect the crowd that screams during an irop to give any favor to the company for anything. But Memorial Day weekend was very mild as far as cancellations. Yesterday delta canceled 7%. Think we had 4 cancels when I looked last night?

rest assured more IROPs will happen. They happen everywhere, and there will always be another. Long lines for CS and X list gravy flying out the door .. but all in all I feel some credit is due .. weather it be luck, planning, pilots helping out or combination of all 3.. so far I’d say the Operation has held up well under the summer travel crush..

flame away ..

There is zero chance this is a legit post, even you can’t be this naive. We all know meltdowns are coming. Every year, every summer. The question shouldn’t be “if,” it’s “when,” “how many” and “FAA intervention”.
