Then I'll summarize: marketing usually sells more seats than the airline owns. Summer and holiday schedules are usually affected so much so that additional lift is called in. By definition, "operational spare" here usually constitutes someone else's airframe.

Hopefully that's allowed by scope or otherwise a grievance is probably in order.

Unfortunately, our scope allows pretty much unlimited sub-service as long as it does not cause a furlough.

Its still costs them an arm and a leg to do the subservice. So I dont see it as a threat to our jobs.

Wow, that's close!

Of course, some pax will file lawsuits against the airline when they really should be thanking your pilots for saving all their a.sses...

I hope the passengers charged Spirit a "pants cleaning fee".
