[QUOTE=Excargodog;3151679]now we can finally, after all these years ask the Legacy guys "goT Yer StufF in....."

 

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.

 

Yeahhh Capitalism!

 

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.

 

Couldn’t be more wrong, sorry.

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.

 

[QUOTE=Chimpy;3151971]Thats a wet dream for me lol. I jumpseat a lot and always have to say "i live in base/fly with great guys so Im happy where im at."

 

Please people, be ‘humble’..... Karma is an absolute *****! While many of my friends smirked and made comments when I decided to come here, they are now reaping what they sow... I will be posting Facebook pics of my new sports car (yes, a real sports car), while they are furloughed. Karma is a *****, BUT, I am still waiting for my quid...

 

Exactly! All the smug looks about "Spirit..ugh" and "Why go there?" This is why.

That isn’t actually a quote from me. That was from Chimpy, #91 above.
