It was a disingenuous comment plain and simple, partisan hack politics, and yes-I blame both sides. But to put this solely on McConnell is wrong too. Remember 49-51 is not negotiations.

Did I miss something? Is Schumer the Majority Leader? Can the minority leader bring bills to the floor for a vote? Was anything passed by a single committee in the Senate? Just curious....

I didn’t say the Republican Senate needed to come to the center, I said they needed to do SOMETHING.... Pass something...

again, a point in time. You obviously cannot deficit spend and cut taxes forever. But not spending a lot on Covid relief (short term big problem) will cost the country much more in revenues down line than it would save now by not spending it. Crisis stimulus isn’t like social security of welfare. It’s a short term solution for a short term problem.

inflation will wipe out the deficit. No need to be worried.

Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but didn't want to start a new one. Is Spirit still making schedule adjustments? If I am looking at flights mid/end of April that I could use to commute on, do you guys think those flights will operate or how much last minute canceling is Spirit doing? Thanks.

We have a townhall in a few days. Perhaps someone will ask and we can give you a more accurate answer. Outside of the snowpocalypse I have had any flights cancel.

What I took away from the town hall is yes, schedule adjustments are happing and will continue. Being nimble is one of the tactics we will be using

I think the tactic is to lead capacity and force the legacies to follow suit until their higher CASM and overall cash burn forces them to give up and retrench. Then use their unused gates to go after their fortress hubs. Whether it will work or not remains to be seen, but you don’t hire pilots and order new jets to park them and furlough them...

Yes, we had many March cancellations after bidding. So what they thought at the beginning of Feb would be our schedule changed by March 1st.

If someone would have bet me a year ago there would be no furloughs, no concessions, and a bunch of us would take 50 hours to sit home and grow beards in the next year, I would have lost it all. Add in the fact we are now hiring, still shocked.

I agree. I guess the real metric should be not returning to 750/day (though that is the heart of the thread), but what calendar year will we have 4 quarters of profits?
