You may never fly a 319CEO seems like an option as well. And they would take 2 years of deliveries to replace. Earnings call said we might find unique opportunities for the 319s. Whatever that means.

Spirit will get into the hotel and restaurant business!

we will convert them into Bed and Breakfasts and park them in vacant lots across the country.

“come spend the night in an old yellow Airbus and wake up and have airplane food served to you and your significant other in the morning.”

you can pay more to have the “cockpit suite.” They will keep the buttons working so you can feel like you are the pilot.

we could do what the National Parks do in regards to visit different parks and make It a scavenger hunt for it for little kids.

“look Ma I got 502NK stamped here in St. Louis next year we should visit grandpa in Trenton so I can get 507NK stamped on my booklet passport.”

(and we charge $5 for the stamps)

a privately held company for discreet travel (one of those dotcom call signs that are not easily tracked). Hey we should get money wherever we can, DISCLAIMER: not fact-checked and may be inaccurate.

I interpreted that as we would be replacing them with A319neos. I can't see the type going away though, the A319ceo's are paid for which is why they're all in parking.

I’d love to see them used for charter or light freight (think vaccine) freighters.

Here is a Question,

while doing a visual approach we are told to fly runway heading and climb to 1500 AGL. Let’s say you are landing at 13R into DFW and cleared for the visual approach. Then let’s say you have to go around, are you really going to fly straight ahead? (Look at the chart and think about another arriving and departing traffic)

Are you really asking this?

”Go around.”

”Go around, flaps.”

“Positive rate.”

”Gear up.”

”Tower, Spirit 123 going around.”

”Spirit 123 fly heading XXX climb and maintain YYYY contact departure.”

”See ya soon.”

All that before you cross the opposite threshold. You’re not flying an SR71. This stuff happens slooooooow.
