Is that you Shyguy? Does the uniform come with a banana or you have your own standard issue?
Tell us about the QOL over at Virgin. You got like 10.9 pilots per plane while we have 15.5. Seriously dude. Just get lost.

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......

We all agree, even us NK guys that we are not surprise to see spirit at the bottom. Fact.
But when it comes about making money, as Spoilers mention with out trashing, and pretty much every person in commercial aviation this last 5-6 years, knows that the company you work for could not make such a list, just barely make bottom.
Spirit chooses to make money, then address the customer service problem. We have 2 customers, share holders and passengers, very difficult to keep both equally happy.
You will get to see this when VX goes public. Don't be so defensive about it and choose your battles. I think your comments were totally out of target.
Cheers.

I get annoyed when I read about Spirit being on the bottom, the passengers may have their knees up to their chest, may have to "pay" for everything but they seem to be treated nicely by gate agents and FAs and usually people are very thankful and happy getting off the plane.
Oh well........
I think Shy is just ****ed his uniform sucks
Anyway, I think Ben has it right

That was a mistake, I meant rock bottom fares. If you see the context it was in, that should make sense. I don know why wage got in there. Sorry. It was suppose to be fares.

That pilot uniform was modified, and the current one is better than the one pictured.

My airline is better than your airline! Guys circle the wagons, he said something bad about us!!!
Geez...Guess what, you guys both fly the same friggin planes to probably many of the same places. One group does it el cheepo style, the other with a little more flare...but all that crap goes on behind the cockpit door anyway so I imagine you're all drinking the same Coke up front and stayin at the same Holiday Inn.
