they truly accept people from 135. They hired folks from 135 in 2017/2018

Fast forward to 2022 - now they hire cfis from ATP flight school and regional pilots with 1700
hours.

if you truly want to be here don’t be marketable to a legacy, be able to pass 5 sims, and be able to fog a mirror.

I spent over a decade flying fractionals before Spirit, and 4+ years at a 135 freight operation before that. They haven’t chased me off the property yet.

just leave that to Bill Frankie...He’ll chase half the pilots off.

That is becoming obvious.

Thought I was going 121 but then 2008 happened. Flew 91/135 for 10 years. Now at Spirit. 91/135 was 20x more fun than airline flying but I'm very happy I'm here now. I don't wish I came here sooner though.

Looking back I tried to do the 135 thing instead of the regionals. Pilots who started at my old regional the same time I started the 135 job in 2014 have all flowed to American and have already been there 2 years. Just saying, I wish I went 121 from the start. I maybe only had 200 hrs in those 2 years. Plus the sign on bonuses are insane at the regionals.

"a merger of two of the most low-ranking airlines..." Uhh, I mean it's not great but there are many others in the category of "most low-ranking".

Think there might be some United bias from a Colorado AG?

Airlines owe you a refund when they cancel a flight. So why is United balking during coronavirus crisis?

So, what do you get when UAL buys Hawaiian?


A turd wearing a lei....


F9 isn't about customer service - it's about $ and not $$$$. NK's been around long enough that their customers have low expectations. F9's customers still think they're the old Frontier, not a ULCC.

This guy has been after F9 for a long time. Pretty sure that if F9 had broken any laws regarding consumer refunds etc during covid that they already would’ve been fined/penalized.

of course it would be this bimbo in Washington.

Many bimbos. All of the progressive left is in on this. They literally are concerned that F9 and NK will merger and drop the ULCC model, which would raise airfares. People are clueless.

Let’s be honest Spirit isn’t helping by opening new bases where Frontier already has them, the doj doesn’t tend to like overlap and spirit is handing them more.

Pilot domiciles do not equate to more or less overlap. It’s most likely not even a factor. We are putting pilots where we already have flying.

^^this^^

If anything it is showing how the two airlines compliment each other rather than oppose each other. We may have many of the same bases with many of the same routes, but both airlines are operating a lot of routes on opposite days. Routes that do overlap on a particular day are creating two rather than one flight option for the consumer between city pairs. If it were to be creating 15-20 flights a day between city pairs like if two legacies airlines were to merge, then we’re talking about real overlap. In the case of Frontier and Spirit though, the “overlap” is showing a real benefit to the consumer and a benefit of having both airlines as a combined entity. I’m sure there’s definitely a reason why NK base openings are occurring with the timing that they are.

NK/F9 Merger Announced
 

The reality is the govt will probably approve because, well money. But even though AA and USairways had little overlap they still didn’t like it

Yeah, but that was merging to form the largest airline in the country. A NK/F9 merge would still only be fifth largest.

And even as the fifth “largest” we will still be considerably smaller than the fourth largest.

Adding a domicile has zero to do with any overlap is what I was saying. We are already doing the ATL flying.

I, for one, am happy to know that Lizzie Warren, Bernie Sanders, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, all three well known to be versed in macroeconomics and experts in the aviation industry are leading five other house democrats in a campaign to pressure Mayor Pete Buttigeig and the justice department to torpedo this merger.

I was obviously wrong to have previously allowed myself to be swayed by disinformation into thinking it was a good idea. I can only express heartfelt gratitude that their courage, leadership, and conviction will triumph over the evils of capitalism.

My one regret is that I wasn’t able to vote for all three of them in the last election.

Exactly. We need to trust the experts and should be greatful that our leaders are willing to risk their reputations by standing up for the rights of consumers everywhere! Absolute patriots.

I can’t tell if you’ll are kidding or not - which makes for a great joke…

Yah. I’m joking. Sarcasm is my first language.

You spelled "my comrades" wrong
