Yea, basically. The credit card programs, premium cabins, and cargo subsidize the economy tickets.

Why we don't have a cargo program is beyond me. It's like they aren't even trying...

Maybe too much logistical difficulty and our operation isn't reliable enough?

Standard & Poor has a bleak outlook for Spirit Airlines.

I can’t believe there are NK pilots out there who are whistling past the grave.

Anyone who thinks that SAVE can avoid bankruptcy at this point is more than likely dilusional. Or then own so many shares of SAVE @ $15 that they NEED this company to survive. I couldn't image having my income and retirement in the same bucket. I don't think a single investment advisor on the planet would advise such. I hope for their sakes it works out but I'm not betting on it.
