we’re all smarter for getting the unique opportunity to read yours and everyone else’s political commentary on the internet.

We are still presumptively manned for 30 319s that are parked. We would have to bring those out or get 320s to replace them to justify running new hire classes, plus training folks as they return from leaves.

Now I’d be updating my app and doing anything else to be in the first group, whenever that is.

Those 30 319s might be the SKBO crew base aircraft tomorrow. Who knows?

Spirit owns all the 319s so they are a perfect tool to use to manage our flight volume. If demand stays low, keep them parked. If demand comes back at all, well, so do the 319s

All the 319s aren’t parked anymore. I took one out of storage last week and took it to FLL where it was being returned to service.

Word was that was an operational spare for the Thanksgiving weekend.

Honestly, if I didn’t think half of the WN/NK pax will invariably end up at the wrong airport, I’d demand three to five gates at MDW at the point of another federal lawsuit.

Another ORD hustle, which is unsurprising considering it’s a less well run version of Burundi.

At least there is political pluralism in Burundi and the asset to debt ratio is controllable.
