Me too! Thank the baby Jesus for political posts on APC and social media, or else I'd be one more lost soul just blowing in the wind.

So about that earnings call...management seems optimistic but obviously that is heavily contingent on demand returning sooner than later. At this point it's pretty much a waiting game for the holiday travel season, and for all of our sakes hopefully they take the second round of government loans if it would benefit us.

I am going step away from this thread. Best of luck. Great company (Spirit) with good folks. COVID is not airline-centric, it is affecting the entire industry. I would think the ULCC/LCC model is more immune but COVID is shattering all models and theories. You could put 10 Harvard Phd economists in a room and nobody can crystal ball the future on this thing.

see ya

you mean this one ? we seem to have progress, then a derailment, then progress, then a derailment. Then...

If by derailment you mean the bottom of the current administration’s economy dipping to the peak of the last administration’s economy then I can deal with that.

it doesn't matter. the fire light, red in color, is illuminated, it is called COVID. Once that gets extinguished we can all study history.

the immediate action item for now is COVID. What Jimmy Carter did? Who cares.

“Politics“ etymology:

poly, a prefix; From Ancient Greek πολύς (polús, “many, much”)

Ticks, plural noun; denotes various species of blood-sucking arthropod parasites.

Instead you will vote for Biden who has some serious cognitive (dementia) issues to lead the free world? Your hatred for Trump is enough to vote a bobblehead in? Before COVID the economy was great and you can't blame that on Trump. He will will rebuild the economy. The vaccine is close. Trump is not perfect but I think he is doing a great job. Chooo chooo

The china ban is an odd situation, what with the whole one china thing, Hong Kong and several other cities being exempt. I believe somewhere around a million people have traveled between the US and China since the 'ban' took effect. The reality is we cant really ban china because we lust for their cheap stuff.

I dont see a political line there, as you yourself detailed that both leftys and rightys arent playing by the rules. You do know plenty of rioters have been arrested. Protesters can protest, but those caught vandalizing or worse were absolutely arrested when able. That said, the police knew they were outnumbered and played the situation correct. Why send people into a situation that was not going to be controlled and could potentially result in the injury or death of an officer? Enforcing mask mandates is not as inherently dangerous as a large crowd with weapons. Also, i have not yet heard of any anti-maskers being swept off the streets by secret police into unmarked vehicles.

Yea- you have a circumspect view of things. Police arent even allowed to do their job anymore- That affects all of us and is coming from the left. :rolleyes:

The China travel ban is such a red herring. There was no ban on flights. There was only a ban on Chinese nationals traveling on Chinese passports. If you were a foreign national or an American traveling on any passport other than a Chinese passport you could travel to the U.S. without being tested for COVID-19 upon arrival. The China travel ban is another lie from President PersonWomanManCameraTV.

Can you help me understand what it is you are doing/going for here? I don’t much care for him either but this seems like something someone would scream in a fit of rage.
