Good to hear the numbers are good.
Yep, $46 million is a rounding error over 5 years worth of revenue. Oh well, money in their pockets everyday starting August 1st.

+1 about the MEC.

And how many pilots were on property at that time?

Around 400-450. That includes the furloughs.

If you're doing the math the gap is smaller this time around because of having more pilots. You can form your own opinion about whether that's better or worse.

No chance I'm interested in a five year deal unless it's absolutely industry leading.

The downward trend in the stock has more to do with analysts fears in increased capacity due to growth. That increased capacity coupled with a decrease in ticket prices, when compared to other airlines tends to make analysts think Spirit will not make as much money in the future as they did in the past.

I take everything a stock analyst says with about the same amount of skepticism as I do politicians.

I am suspicious that the ask wasn't that good but we'll see when/if they ever release those details

I never flew at a regional but I'll go ahead and apologize for this. I go to great lengths to protect my hearing and find the Airbus a very loud airplane below FL350. I make every attempt to remember to plug the ships set back in but I'm sure on the last leg of the last day I've probably forgotten at least once to plug in back in. Please accept my apologies.
