Anyone who’s got an issue with the Karbon jacket is nuts in my book. That thing is sweet.

if you chose this career to be covered in brass and “look like a pilot” DAL is hiring :D

So, back to how a Miada is a sports car.

It got too many seatbelts and not enough coat hooks.

Any chance Spirit could open a base in California?

So you want to pay a million dollars to take a 10% cut in pay?

Do you really think Bill Franke cares about the cost of housing for his employees? If the California base made him money he'd open it. But, parking airplanes, paying for gates and everything else that goes along with a California base doesn't fit the ULCC model.

Just curious what the added costs are for a base over what we are already doing. Because we are already doing a-lot of those things you stated. I know crew lounge is one, and probably others, but I’d imagine we are already paying the main costs of operating in and out of California
