was discussed a couple pages back. Yeah that’s a ton of 319’s. Very surprising in my book.

Im betting Puddy is having a stroke right about now.

They must have gotten a smoking deal in the 319’s

Is that a NEO air quality issue joke?

I very rarely have many bags on domestic routes, so filling up tanks shouldn’t be a problem. Going south, different question. A couple of trips ago I did a IAH-SAP turn and we had nearly 200 bags each way, in a 320! �
If we got the XLR, it’d be interesting to see how Spirit deploys it.

a NEO XLR could do FLL to GIG...

AA does MIA to GIG in a triple 7, showing 8:20 block. At Mach .84.

Have fun on the 14 hour layover, I’d be dropping that one every chance I get.

14 hour layover? Are you on the schedule planning committee?

I think his main idea was it would be cool how Spirit could expand our network further...Not necessarily about how cool our layovers would be.

send them directly to me. If it’s a 2 day worth 17hrs I’m all about it. If it’s a 3day w a red eye for the same credit, Id be avoiding too. of course a red eye couldn’t be done in augmented with block over 8:00

It would almost certainly be a 3 day, because the report times in 117 tables have to line up in order to get at least 9 hours of flight time.

If you take Lima as a template and then chisel away 3-4 hours on either side of the duty off and duty on times in station, that would give you a pretty good idea of what Rio would look like. Hotel location/transport would also affect the amount of actual time “out of uniform”

Would Rio be “cool” to visit, sure. Do I want to operate a narrow body from FLL to get there? Nope.

what does it matter if it’s a narrow body or widebody?

Narrow bodies are significantly slower, and they don’t have crew rest facilities.

Spirit big front seats do not even meet the qualifications for a class 3 rest facility, so we couldn’t do augmented crew even if we wanted to.

Like I said, IF they get XLRs and IF they decide to do those type of routes as 2 pilot long range, fantastic. I don’t have any interest in doing them so one less person fighting against the bots in open time.

I’ll let you get back to spreading banal rumors.
