That makes sense. Any idea if that is/was part of the permanent plan or were they going to consolidate operations into the new Miramar HQ?

They want two HQ’s so that a hurricane doesn’t blow up the OCC for a few days. It’s also part of why they were looking at Nashville.

Don't need two, you just need a good alternate. Many businesses have this (and government entities) along the coast. Doesn't have to be fancy, pick an inland base and rent out cheap office space in some strip mall or something. Just need to hire a tech guy or two to keep up the comm infrastructure until it is needed.

I’ll just leave this here and see if you see anything familiar. I myself just noticed it when I was browsing over JetSmart’s website.

P.S. JetSmart was inaugurated by Bill Franke only two years ago.

You would think that, but evidently there is an F9 FO that will call the Chief Pilot on you if you don’t shave off a goatee, even if it’s completely covered by the mask.

I’ll assume this is just sarcasm. If there is one good thing at F9 it’s our pilot group. We have a great bunch of people, and honestly I’ve not flown with a single person yet who isn’t looking forward to working with our NK peeps to make this place even better.

I understand nothing has been officially released but I thought that one of the press releases listed that "Spirit" would be the surviving brand. Yes, I understand that Frontier is listed as 51.5 majority.

Anyone have any insider knowledge?
