He really is just a scumbag.

 

no…white shirts.

You spirit guys will never know how good you have it until you need to wear your beat up, old blue shirts because the company that supplies your uniforms, who also is Taco Bell’s supplier (let that sink in and yes, some of our guys were mailed Taco Bell uniforms), has them back ordered for a year and is the only place you can get them.

I’d do anything to be able to walk into any local FBO pilot shop or some flight school and be able to walk out with a uniform shirt.

 

I don't doubt your experience, but I've yet to have a problem getting shirts. Also haven't waited until the last second though. Maybe your size is more of an issue or I just ordered at the right time.

 

An absolute clown, again. He's got the executive chops of Ronald McDonald.

Good riddance.

 

Yeah his comments were pretty abrasive and have come back to haunt him. Guess it’s a good lesson to not burn down the bridge before you have crossed it.

 

That was kind of awesome. I can’t believe they actually asked Ted tough questions and made him eat his words. Thought there would be a save face, but no.

 

Really pathetic. That interview had the feel of a man that knows his days are numbered.

 

He is on the phone with Frontier for a CFO position or similar. Hopefully he takes the rest of these clowns with him after the needless drama they put the shareholders and employees through.

 

Lot of guru pilots on here that had a second career in airline merger etc.

A serious question.

We know now that JB can rest assured they have a dance partner and NK management has no obligation to ensure the viability of the Spirit Airlines brand. Is it safe to say: until what was Spirit Airlines is absorbed by JetBlue Airways and a JCBA has been settled, all new aircraft that were to be put into the Spirit system will now be painted in JB colors and put into the JB network? No new routes or means to improving the customer service experience of Spirit Airlines should be expected since there’s no reason to build the brand.

How does that effect us as pilots of NK for the next couple of years? Realistically it’s been nice to experience real organic growth and new aircraft each month.

NK hires because of attrition. But it also has been hiring substantially to keep up with growth as well. Upgrades will most likely stop until since Spirit Airlines will be, from our perspective, winding down until a JCBA is reached.

Knowing that these regulatory processes take quite some time, I’d imagine JB will be whittling a way at the NK, until there’s very little
left. So as to show the DOJ that there’s nothing to save by opposing the merge. Another not so fun thing for us.

To those in the know, (seems to be quite a few of you) please tell me something that will make the next couple of years less painful for us.

 

Until the merger is complete, everything will remain separate. Any aircraft coming to Spirit will continue to come to Spirit. Spirit still needs to operate a viable company. Remember, there are still no guarantees this thing goes through until it does, and Spirit is a publicly traded company.
