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

Aren't classes full right now? I don't expect that to last much longer, but it seems like in the short term we have no issues hiring pilots.

Issue isn’t getting pilots. It’s keeping them.

Best part of the call was ironically the last line
