If Spirit and Frontier resume merger talks, would they end up with a "Frontier Wings" or "Spirit Flight" call sign?

They’re going to rent out the call sign as another revenue stream. One month you’ll be State Farm Flight 1551, then you’ll be Bud Light 1551, then JG Wentworth 1551. Barry’s salivating already

what about the landing checklist? Will it be ECAM no blue or ECAM all green or no blue and all green…. 🤔

It could be either. No Blue (no JetBlue) or all green (Frontier) hard to say.

319 fleet is gone. 23 aircraft sold and leaving the fleet. For months the number of NEO's parked has been say around 25 aircraft? Upwards of double the number of NEO's could possibly be parked over the summer. There are only 7 321NEO's left for delivery in 2025, then no more new deliveries.

I would say more furloughs are likely after winter season, long before any new hiring.


Watch the fleet plan and updates on the NEO situation.

That's going to be a difficult transition to make.

I feel like it could be like the situation last year unfortunatley. Announce the furlough early like April/May so they can use us in the summer and then the furloughs are active Sep. 1st

Assuming Spirit ever makes it to the point of recalls, how many actually come back?

My wild estimate would be less than half. Most will move on and probably give up their seniority numbers as a result. Also depends how long the furlough is for.

This can’t be a serious question
