A combined F9/Spirit will be the easiest sales pitch in the universe to Regional FOs eager for a fat pay raise and a new type rating - which is the current target demographic of both companies. Currently, classes for both companies are being filled without effort, despite Spirit’s insultingly low training pay.
Do you think the 5th largest airline in the country - who will be billing itself as “the new Southwest” is going to have any problem at all replacing you or any of your bitter friends?
I have many friends at Spirit and have been looking forward to flying with you guys. It’s a shame so many of you have allowed JetBlue’s failed business dealings convince you that you’d be better off there. Really weird, actually. Is it the assumed pay difference? Your affinity for New York flying & trips up and down the east coast? The WiFi? 😂
