I'm hoping that the happy jacks, non essential conversations are the lull before the storm.

But, here ya go! Vote yes and lose from 6 to 24 off days per year.

We already discussed it ad vomitum. 85% on here will vote NO. But it will pass by 80% yet you will be hard pressed to find anyone out on the line who voted yes.

Where did you get 6 to 24 off days from? I count 2, if you are at min days already.

I am still a NO vote based on the reduced need for manning this TA creates.

I did not see a review per se, but I did see a thorough explanation of taxes and fees. Interesting that the sale is called a "Red Light Special." Generally a term reserved for pro-hos.

Good pax service from Spirit.
First plane out of LGA.
Northeast Blizzard Causes Thousands of Flight Cancellations - NBC News
NBC does not mention our name (1:45'), unlike that other airline (1:30')
Still free positive press coverage.
That's the SPIRIT!
