I was thinking more like a couple of extra seats in the wheel-well.

More leg room and a helluva view on takeoff and landing.

If I can read numbers, we had the WORST adjusted pre-tax margin in the whole industry….. :(

our A321NEO’s are going to hold 235 passengers!!! dang. Just when I thought we couldn’t squeeze anymore people inside those things...hm well maybe they are trying to put more people inside to make it more efficient for when we have the longer flights to Hawaii and Europe :)

What is this, amateur hour?! We (F9) are putting 240 in ours! Sorry had to drop in, but the reason for extra capacity is one fewer door exit on each side in favor of overwing exits on the 321N.

But I keep getting told the model prints money. We’re they wrong?

well a 50 million dollar operational meltdown tends to be a wet blanket come earnings season.

$50M meltdowns have large effects on small carriers’ numbers. We made roughly $335M in 2019. So we crapped out a little less than 1/6 of a pre-Covid income in one week. And we’re still operating with Covid fares and passenger loads.

just wait until Spirit can’t hire pilots due to low pay. They just lowered hiring mins to 1500 hours. Regional with Airbus.

Maybe someday Spirit will get legacy pay - doubt it though with the poor earnings.

Ted said in earnings report, they are considering multiple crew bases to be added.
