For the sake of not reading 522 pages, can I get a quick run-down of the DTW base?
# Pilots? Commutable? Junior/Senior? Type of flying?
# Pilots? Commutable? Junior/Senior? Type of flying?
-It's a big airport, I'm sure it's commutable, where would you be flying in from? Check (passrider.com)
-Senior CA, top 15-20 Senior FO's, the rest mid and junior people.
-Type of flying is mixed, but I don't think they do any central and South America stuff, except a they flight to CUN.
As a reference, DFW and ACY are the initial destination for new hires, but they move out as quick as people upgrade and new vacancies come out.

Looks like CEO Ben Baldanza will be on CNBC tomorrow morning at 9 am, CST.
Looks like a great qtr for $SAVE, I'll be real interested to see what he says about forecasts and if anything is different from the report.

per carry on, $100 a check bag, etc. all wrong and misleading. Maybe be he didn't get in when the stick was $16, and now the company isn't good enough. While a overwhelming number of people are positively thinking that this business model works for passengers and investors. I'm sure he probably thinks VX it's a great investment.

Holy hel l, that's a lot of fees...
Spirit Airlines - cheap tickets, cheap flights, discount airfare, cheap hotels, cheap car rentals, cheap travel
$50 for a carry on bag at kiosk check-in?
How often are there arguments at check in or the gate regarding these fees? Do people regularly wear 7 shirts, 6 pair of underwear and 3 pairs of slacks when traveling?

It all makes for great headlines and for people to complain about fees on an airline they probably actually haven't flown on.
Profits don't lie, people may not like the experience of flying Spirit, but it's a proven fact, they love the ticket prices.
