More like SAVE buys AA..lol

AA is dead on the vine. There is literally no coming back from their debt absent Ch11.

It’ll either shock us all or be completely obvious. I don’t know which. Probably both when all is said and done. I don’t know who’s hooking up at the dance, but a couple of someones will be going home with someone new before the night is over. Just a matter of time imo.

What happened to the November schedule?
 
Has anyone else noticed that all the flying for the first three weeks of November has disappeared from open time?

“The Spirit of Frontier” and for the paint job someone in the airline business on Instagram made a rendering of it.

People loading up schedules and swapping out week 4 to get Thanksgiving off. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Didn’t the company offer a hybrid line in November? A relief line kinda thing? Think I remember the email stating the first part of November had extremely soft demand and the back half of November very strong demand. My guess it’s as Simple as the company building way less parings early in the month versus the later half. Less pairings means less a opentime. I would assume December will look very similar

Yup. They basically said exactly that. At least one of the union emails did a couple weeks ago. The last 2 weeks of Nov and Dec would feel like regular holiday schedules, but both the first part of Nov/Dec would be slowish.

Had my first 321 100% with 1 jump seater up front last night. FLL looked like a zoo. Good stuff.
