Ya just never know what’s going to happen.

You are right. Never know what the future holds. I’m just happy I decided to stay here. Nothing like driving to work vs the coast to coast commute I used to do.

Depending on your age when you make it to a legacy you will make more money flying narrow bodies before you hit retirement due to the senority it takes to be a wide body CA. Don't assume being a wide body pilot is everybody's goal.

It is. This clown makes her rounds through the various airline pages until she ultimately gets banned. Now she’s even calling herself out on her past posts. Literally talking to herself.

some life that must be.

Wow Breeze is a start up and already talking about Hawaii, Europe, and deep South America.

they must see something we don’t.

Guess they'll be installing in-flight refueling probes on those E190s and CS3...errr...A220s.

No, I don't. Enlighten me: can it do, say, something benign, like maybe BOS-LIS?

Hawaii, it’s an over saturated destination and we don’t do cargo.

Europe, you can fly literally any other carrier that has food and inflight entertainment for 6+ hours. People don’t go to Paris on vacation with only a carry on, and the ancillaries wouldn’t make our fare competitive. Our target demographic is storming a Walmart on Black Friday for a $200 flat screen, not shopping at Harrods.

Plus you have to make the whole fleet ETOPs, and do like JetBlue where only certain pilots are qualified to do the routes.

Deep South America is interesting, but not enough to justify a different type (330 rumors go back nearly 2 decades). If we can do some more with a 321XLR fantastic let’s order some planes and hire more pilots. Just send me a post card because I have no desire to do 8 hours on a red eye in a 320 cockpit.

All great points. Let’s expand our route network in the US and increase the frequency of flights first.

Halon1211 11-02-2021 07:19 AM

I heard SFO, DAL, SLC will be announced soon.

As well as A321neo routes, which is supposed to include a bunch of (longer) routes from BWI. Of course that is far out.

I heard all this from a FA.

It’s twoo, it’s twoo!


I’d put money on BWI and IAH. Both are busy stations, BWI has long been set up and anticipated and DFW is hemmed in by they of $40B indebtedness.

Neelmam said the same crap at JetBlue the entire time he was there.

It only took him leaving and another decade and a half to make it happen.

Just curious, where did you go to flight school and what did you think about the quality of training/education there?

I can hear TC strumming his guitar and saying...


Put on my yellow suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the ranging pandemic”...

“but do the Spirit Pilots feel the way they do...”


anyways looks like Spirit is going to be touching down in the land of the Delta Blues...

I think we just need Salt Lake City now.

BeechedJet 12-14-2021 11:57 AM

How does SNA fit in then? Just because of Disney and how much Orlando we already do?

Leisure travel to mass appeal destinations. SNA has a few of them, and they’re a lot closer than Orlando for a goodly part of the country.

The golf, tennis, horse, wine and dine in the snoot demographic isn’t really our target audience though I’m sure we’d still sell them tickets.

not a surprise at all. i expected MEM someday. Still a big Uggghh. Ultimately if it makes money who cares. But not exciting to this fella.
im expecting another city or two soon. OKC, ANC GRR,BOI,ONT,SLC,BHM just a few guesses

Av8rPHX 12-15-2021 09:01 AM

If you haven’t been to MEM in the last decade you can probably understand why NK is going in there. The city was probably giving away the gates. It’s a ghost town minus Federal Express

How many gates did FedEx have?

Yep kinda has that PIT, CLE, CVG look. Lonely old airports of yesteryear

Makes my commute super easy! I can be from the employee lot to the gate in about 10mins.

I’m glad they are putting a Panda Express in, but a new terminal doesn’t help tourism when they are now ranked the most dangerous city in the country.

we could always invoke the section of the contract where we get armed escorts...or just cute escorts ;)
