This is bad cosmology.

Kirby, being told he was wrong about NK on APC by a wildly underpaid random pilot he doesn’t and will never care about.

To be fair, this is also how Kirby feels about UA pilots

Kirby is pretty good at what he does, but he’s a tool, not sure why you’re simping for him. Luckily it seems AA is in his scopes now.

At this point in my career I'd perfectly happy with a competent tool running my airline. There are many worse alternatives.

He might be a tool but he's our tool.

This right here^^^

We don’t even compete with United for the most part except ORD—they make most their profits on international markets. It’s 150% Delta's management who is—and has been—bending over AA management for the last 10 years. Kirby’s response to American building back ORD is by adding more RJ flying to places like Kalamazoo. The RASM is exceeding CASM only for United argument in ORD is a BS claim by Kirby who wants to build his own version of DFW/ATL with ORD and AA won’t let him. Why not make a ridiculous claim and hope investors force AA to back down—it doesn’t cost SK anything.

are you kidding? AA management has been bending themselves over.

Well yeah that too

isn’t that what IAH is?

No, IAH has less than 400 daily departures. ATL and DFW almost triple the daily departures for American and Delta respectively.

IAH is a joke and way over-served as is due to its status as a hub. As far as a southern region hub goes for the legacies IAH is by far the weakest and least globally connected.

I know you're probably just late-night trolling as usual, but I'll bite.

IAH is certainly a dump - what southern region hub for a legacy carrier isn't? - but IAH is certainly not a joke.

Currently IAH is the weakest of the ATL/CLT/DFW/IAH combo but has significantly more potential than ATL. If IAH is over-served, ATL is even more over-served.

The IAH metro is 120% the size of the ATL metro and IAH also has notably better geography for domestic, LatAm, and global connectivity unless you're trying to go to South Africa.

I'd expect IAH to continue to grow at a reasonable rate. Will it ever have the variety of Europe flying that ATL does? no, but you also can't take DL direct from ATL to SYD or AA from CLT to SYD either.

Would've been easier to let him troll. Now, there will be at least 2 more replies from him lol

”Blah blah blah Delta blah blah blah ATL/Profit Sharing/WB Orders blah blah blah ….DeLtA”

ATL and IAH metro population is only 1 million difference in population. 120%?? 😂 Where on Earth did you get your information? They are, by all means similar sized metros. Are you confusing Houston’s complete lack of zoning laws and infamous sprawl with population size?

If you go by CSA and not MSA, they are actually the exact same size. Except! Atlanta is dominated by one airport and carrier unlike the IAH+HOU combo.

ATL is within a 2hr flight of 80% of the nations population and is on the east coast where “TATL” (ya know by far the most populous region for international travel) travel exists. ATL is immensely much better quipped for domestic and international travel and the route maps reflect that.

DFW is a monster to IAH and ATL over both. If you want to go to SYD (mind you, seasonally since UA can’t support it year round) sure have fun flying out of IAH less than half the year. Houston will continue to grow domestically since United’s domestic network is industry worst and they need to fill it in. Expect more GoJet RJ’s and dilapidated 737/319’s to new exotic destinations like DAB. IAH doesn’t have some magical potential is hasn’t tapped into yet. There’s a reason it’s been treated like garbage by United (next to Guam) and will permanently lag DFW, CLT, MIA, and ATL in virtually all metrics. Always love to see SoFlo cope :D

Let me guess. Riddle grad.

I called it lol

It's good for mexico and south America.

The Harvard of aviation.

To quote the Simpsons "The most expensive, and therefore best university"

But are they double jointed?

Thats actually a dis at this point lol. Even without the intended sarcasm.

This is about to age very well in the next 72hrs!

‘See, I told you so’ that’s your big win?

What a child.

I won’t deny Captcalm his ism but like everyone else he was guessing. He’s not wrong yet and he might never be.

I agree. If this comes to fruition, there will be a lot of families affected by this. Let’s hope it’s either not true or everyone lands firmly on their feet if it is true.

Sounds like you couldn't be happier about it. Tool.

Not really , not happy with the concept of people loosing jobs. Being definitively called out in the original post. This is just an open ended response to it that can tip either way.

As I said "this post will age very well in the next 72hrs" he will either be right or he will be wrong.

So your little feelings got hurt and now you are happy that 10,000+ people will be out of a job? ... Yea that really makes sense actually.

kinda messed up that he gets called and when he responds back it’s a problem. But I get it ….its a sensitive topic . That so called calm captain shouldnt have made that embarrassing list .

Or maybe people shouldn't come in here shoving crap in Spirit pilots faces every chance they get like they don't live with it every day enough already? You beat people down long enough eventually when they get a reason to push back, they will.

The number of grammatical errors in this post is embarrassing.

This is the single most pathetic display of behavior I’ve ever seen on this board which is saying something considering my own posting. Get a life, or better yet, find some humility & empathy.

It is humiliating that you are a JetBlue pilot.

Spirit pilots - that is not indicative of B6 sentiment towards you folks. Wishing you nothing but the best.

I'm always amazed at APC's ability to dredge up the biggest pieces of **** in our industry.

I never understood why B6 cadets have this hate towards NK. I know its not all but a GOOD MAJORITY have this ill hate. I know during their indoc CEO would come in and plant the hate seed but holy Sh*t !

hes the type that meow’s on guard and Tracon frequencies……

funny, you never hear that garbage overseas….

You rarely hear meowing west of the Mississippi…

You're next, so don't worry about it. ******* jetblue
