Man!! If it was up to us, the pilots, what you think?
You know what the answer is!

Didn't mean to rag on Colombia, never been there, but wouldn't mind checking out Cartagena. I was referring more to places like Haiti. I do Mexico stuff now, it has it's rough spots. So, no overnights in Cabo or Cancun? Either way, I like the variety of flying at Spirit and most destinations, just need a job offer first

Also, I think the great majority of us care about the money, more than the places we overnight. But to tell you the truth, personally my feeling don't get hurt if we don't overnight abroad.

Nothing to be proud of, but still something the company can fix..


""Spirit Airlines found itself at the bottom of the ratings, with the lowest marks across the board. The carrier has some of the lowest fares in the industry but charges fees for everything from booking a flight to carrying on a bag. Readers also complained about Spirit's seats, some of the tightest spaces in the industry.""

Take that same list and reserve the order of which airline made most money and Spirit will be on top and Virgin at the very bottom

I have a buddy who is a business analyst that travels from Florida to Chicago weekly on Spirit. He says he complains about flying Spirit every time he pulls up to the airport and checks in to board his flight(just like everybody else in that Spirit line. He also says the sad part is that he, along with everyone else, packs that airplane to the gills with not a seat left in sight.

His point is paxs would b?tch about a free filet mignon served in flight if it wasn't cooked perfectly. Numbers and money never lie. Spirit genuinely knows what the customer needs (not what they say they want). Virgin wouldn't know their #ss from a hole in the ground when it came to actually turning a nickel profit.

BTW, I don't work for Spirit either, but would very much like to!

Nice to trash the one airline that actually makes flying like it should be, fun, good entertainment to make time fly-by, Internet, an an inflight team that actually cares and does a good job. Yeah VX hasn't done well financially but at least it's a product to be proud of. It started operations in 2007 just months before the great recession an oil spike. NK delivers exactly what NK is. Rock bottom wages, nickel dime the passengers at every corner, and pack them in worse than a can of sardines. Yes NK will be at te bottom of every customer service survey. Why are you surprised?

How's that KCM thing coming? What concessions did management want, again? Only profitable airlines would pay for that service, right?


Cue the "I don't really need KCM" and "my company doesn't have to pay for that" crowd......

Gotta laugh, coming from the guy who tried to get on at NK... I am sure you knew we didnt have KCM and paid "rock bottom wages" when you applied, right? Sounds like it worked out for both youreself and Spirit that you didnt find employement here...
