Well, clearly The Big Three are in trouble with the lack of business and international flying and multiple fleet types.

I’m reasonably certain the LCC/ULCC model will be doing fine by Q2 2021, not 2019 numbers, but making money. And while it is certainly possible for a Big Three bankruptcy to have ripple effects - and I personally believe it would - I think it woukd likely not hit the LC/ULCC people until contract amendable time. |
Our dfw base is because of AA bankruptcy. When their airline is being run by a bankruptcy court they can’t just throw $30 fares on our routes. So if any major files we will be moving heavily into their markets.

What’s that saying about rocks and glass houses?
We are in the early innings of this Covid thing as it relates to airline unless more major stimulus hits. |

We are in the early innings of this Covid thing as it relates to airline unless more major stimulus hits. We aren’t in the early innings and I don’t believe that thought is shared with any reputable source. Spirit said today that they are happy with their balance sheet and are not seeking additional funding at this time. So do we need more government money to survive? There is nothing out there to suggest we do. In fact, not only did we profile better than expected numbers with positive trajectory, but another ULCC, Allegiant, also posted strong improvement and they feel that can be cash burn neutral by this quarter. No offense but you have always had trouble grasping the fact that we are not the same as legacy carriers. Your previous contentions of “we fly the same planes as they do, we should make the same” doesn’t work for the same reason why you lumping us in with them now doesn’t work. We are different, different models, different revenue structures, different obstacles to overcome with Covid. And I’ll throw rocks all day long. Those other airlines are out direct competitors, they would love to close up our shop tomorrow if they could. So if they have a hard time getting out of this, and that allows us to gain some share, gates and routes, that’s great for our airline and our careers. This kumbaya all airlines are in this together is great for a greeting card, reality is the airlines are one of the most, if not the most, competitive businesses out there. The victor gets the spoils. So here is hoping Spirit continues this upward trajectory and it puts us in a great position to take advantages of the strategic opportunities out there. |
