Cole was absolutely right about the IPO while the MEC Fuk'ed up on that one. Remember the MEC's "We will never IPO!" rant at the first roadshow in FLL? Cole (and his friendly contact) insisted time and again that we should not leave out an ESOP in the new CBA. One month after signing, Spirit files to go public (slap! slap!)
Cole was right about the new Airbus orders. He missed the timing of the actual announcement by a couple of months (geez, that would be too much to get right don't you think?), but had info of the impending orders. The plans were to be one airplane a month ...well, the actual is 7 a year and growing to 10 a year. Pretty good if you ask me.
Hell, he was even right about Franke allowing us to strike and even the number of days we would be on strike (months before it happened). And I heard it personally from him. "They will let us strike for 5 days, then hand us proposal #1." This is when I thought "no way in hell they're gonna let us walk." He was right.
And he was damn right about the big party at BBB's mansion after this TA was signed. It did happen...
He does have contacts, so don't disparage his info...especially if YOU have none. If anything, you should thank him for sharing what he knows.
I say then, let's get ready to merge with Allegiant Airlines. MEC, please get a Merger comittee going NOW!

Does anyone know what money INDIGO has in Allegiant? This may turn out to be simply the consolidation of two assets.

Just talked to my Agnt source (
), and he's also hearing rumors about a buy out of NK. Also knows of 40-50 buses to be leased and more on order as well, will not show on the airbus AC order spread sheet, its a special order.
Also looking for a training Mgr for the bus program.
...so Cole was/is right, flyer, please accept my apologies, we are on our way to be a ULCC monster, I just hope we get to keep our jobs.
He says that they will love and integration, since a lot of their FO, may just end up being sr to our FO's, cash is king and if they buy, they get to say...

Sailor the reason they 40-50 Airbus's are not on the books is because they are used. ALGT does not lease Planes like Spirit they buy them, old and used. 40 - 50 planes are comming from over seas. I think old easy-jet planes or something like that.
Now my question is if they buy us will they keep the ALGT name or use Spirit.
More people in Latin America know who Spirit is they will have a tough time saying Allegiant. **** I have a rough time even spelling the word Allegaint or is it Allgent no its Allegiant.
I rather be espiritwing any day.
