The stupid “Go” fare a carry on bag is not allowed. So if someone tries to bored the plane and they have a carry on bag they don’t even have the option to buy the bag, they are flat out denied boarding?

Tell me you didn't go to college without actually telling me you didn't go to college. Haha.

Might want to have someone spell check your application for your next job.

I warned her that the company could see a spike in UTC (unable to commute) calls if this happens. She thinks the middle seat block option will only be offered on select flights that are known for not being full.

She further said that the blocked seats would have a physical barrier that would act as a tray table for the aisle and window pax. Ok. Installed and removed by FAs or maintenance? By maintenance. So to do this they'll basically need a dedicated sub-fleet of planes with the blocker trays installed? Yea, basically. So if there's a tailswap, maintenance will need to take time from their day and come remove or install blockers? Ummmmmm......

She was receptive and wrote down my questions and said she would bring them up at their meeting the next day (today).

Everything else they want to offer is fine, but I don't trust our D-list management to actually make it work.

It also does nothing to address things like INOP wifi, catering carts half empty, and our generally half-assed operational quality.

Instead of talking to an inflight supervisor, go to the next office down and talk to a chief pilot and tell them to stop taking Jumpseat’s out of brand new airplanes.

Seriously! Thank you! It’s a sold seat it’s not available for commuting. Just bc it’s got an inanimate blocker in it it’s still revenue same as if a passenger was sitting there. What is hard for people to understand. It changes nothing about the commute.

And who the hell uses a FA supervisor as any kind of authority for anything. They about as informed as a CVS cashier.

It’s an interesting view. Almost as if from someone that never experienced what commuting is at any other airline that fills its aircraft. NK is unique in that there’s always at least 10 people that don’t show up, the company rarely oversells and non revs are few.

Spirit is in the business of (or at least supposed to) making money. Not providing empty seats for those that want to live elsewhere.
