Default Charter Flights

Looks like the WNBA is looking for an airline to charter the entire league, instead of it being by the team. Seem like a market we could tap into.

I know our seats arnt exactly what you call comfortable. However we could retro a few planes to have the seats redone to handle taller basketball players. (Like all bigfront seats that recline) and we can easily cater meals the same way corporate operators do it.

We could even get back to our old ways and also do prison transport or other stuff as deportation flights, charters for the state department or for other Pro or college teams.

what do y’all think?

Seems like a bad idea to spend the money to change out seats to a configuration that doesn't fit our business model and renders it useless for standard 121 flights.

These planes would just always be on charters throughout the year.

When all of the other airlines got tapped for craf to transport the evacuated afghans. If spirit sent one of their brand new NEOs I think the afghans would have refused to board due to cruel and inhumane seating conditions

Bingo. Delta and United charter pro teams on their standard aircraft and put them back into scheduled service once the team is dropped off

Man I could really see Walker Hayes making another viral song out of this one.

”Oh yeah, we fancy like Spirit Airlines on a game night. Got the snack pack and buzz ball...two shots one check cuz I got you..”
