Did you see that there isn't a single VA thread on the front page of the forum?
Don't you have anything better to do than stalk the NK thread? Spirit is hiring, if you really want to be over here. The monkey kings always need more of us to prop-up their banana tree.
Otherwise, why not ride your rainbow back to the VA thread and bring everybody up to date on the progress you are making as an ALPA pilot group?

I have to respectfully have to disagree, my wife's company is huge and the are already are looking to cut costs with travel to the extent that they have looked at spirit. If the **** hits the fan those with this lowest casm will prevail, those with the highest, aka legacies will have to reorganize and it will cost the pilots dearly. The simple fact is the airlines have turned into a boom and bust industry. Couple that with the reduced international seats from the top three it could be scary for them

If 1/4 of Delta gets furloughed, it will be tough for the whole industry.
What will kill the ULCC's is an oil price spike or sustained price raise because as oil becomes a bigger and bigger part of the casm, then the ULCC CASM get's closer and closer to the legacies as labor becomes more insignificant factor.
Hopefully this discussion is academic.

I don't know, much more so in the 80's/90's as everybody grew during profits for "market share" only to shrink during the downturns.

You want academic? Take a look at James Carville's response to Frank the Tank in the debate competition, Old School (circa 2003): I have no reply, that was perfect!

Ha funny. This is APC, not Spirit Pilot central. That means any pilot from any airline can read/write in any thread here about any airline. If that gets certain underwear in a wad, they can go back to their own internal pilot board. Oh wait, wasn't that shut down because some girls couldn't get along? Ever since that shut down all the beotching and negativity came right here. If you have a problem with what others think of you or your company, perhaps you can write to a moderator who cares. "You mad bro" is just a polite way to address a toolbag answer, which is exactly what that was.
High oil prices would be the best gift to Spirit. We can make a profit with this fuel efficient fleet while the others would struggle with all of those gas guzzling B737's and MD-80's.
