You DTW based? They put whoever the heck that was on the side of a plane. I’m thinking Kid Rock would be just fine.

The first animal on the new Spirit tails better be Pebbles the Hamster.

And the second one better be Harambe or I'm popping the slides and retiring early, as in decades early.

D*cks out gentlemen!

Never thought about that. Sounds like I should invest in the hat maker stock.

I asked to wear hats in the last ALPA survey. I have a lot of money invested in hat making stock.

I'm an idiot for sharing this, but look into the button industry. Double breasted blazers are hot right now.

Hey guys I don’t want to alarm you but I saw a Frontier van in DFW. Merger confirmed

In fairness, I would drink coffee from Delta cups over the years when we would get DAL catering in DTW, and Spirit was like "Delta cups, sure we will use those for service, napkins too"

Nothing says ULCC like using napkins and cups branded with your competition, because they are free

nothing is final until you here it from a Denver gate agent. Then you know.

BeechedJet 06-28-2021 04:09 PM

I’ll know somethings up when I can actually find a Denver gate agent.

F9er guy here. I think we are merging also. We are bringing back snacks First week in July, identical menu as yours. Cup of noodles, cheese box, etc. Also all our new plane orders after the current one will have the same engines as Spirits. I’d rather merge with you guys than the Borg and be stapled.

Nothing says “imminent merger” more than Cup O Noodles overlap

Picked my nose, booger was green. Merger is official

But was it yummy when you ate it?

Nah I spread it on the window like everyone else.

When I was a kid, as I picked my nose, my dad said, “Pick a good one.”

Will this be a good merger, or a shotgun wedding?

303flyboy 06-29-2021 10:19 PM

Oh I think a happy marriage. Not one person at Frontier who doesn’t already see Spirit pilots as their brothers and sisters. We might as well be one big dysfunctional family 🤗

I apologize in advance for landing early and blocking in late in DEN and MCO ! Gate is open! (narrator; “ it was not…” )

That truly is hilarious! But I predict it’ll be NK guys in F9 indoc explaining whether they came over in the merge or were a Cadet at Purdue.

spirit would be the one doing the buying. Why would indigo rebuy spirit?

They most likely wouldn’t

But nobody likes being the “acquired,” so of course F9 guys will see this playing out differently than a Spirit pilot.

BeechedJet 06-30-2021 10:54 AM

We’re all gonna feel real stupid when we all have to stand every morning in the Las Vegas heat saying the pledge to Allegiant.

Disagree. Because A) Indigo can more easily afford NK than the other way around and B) vengeance…they booted Franke and it would be the ultimate win for him to buy the house he was evicted from.

Really though in the end I don’t care what’s painted on the tail. If we merge I’ll be happy to sit next to any NK pilot I’ve met and laugh about how we’re going to staple the SWA pilots to our list.

odd. I thought you animal guys were the ones with cadets….. not spirit.

Bike Handles 06-30-2021 11:45 AM

Isn’t F9 going towards the day trip model or was that just pilots complaining about way too many day trips? Almost would look like an allegiant style model that F9 would be doing.

You’re right, F9 is getting the cadets. It was a joke that NK and them would be in the same indoc starting at F9. Apparently it was not obvious enough of a joke.

Pilots complaining? Couldn’t be. F9 does have more turns and 2-days than we ever did but we are not doing a G4 model. Hybrid I guess. I’ve always been a 4-day fan myself (and they’re back albeit <20% of the pairings) but a couple 15 hour 2 days back to back gives me more days off in a month.

Franke is actually I really nice guy though. I actually ran into him today at the airport in FLL. Said he was in town for some business meeting.
