I remember last time they were negotiating the company trained a bunch of schedulers and such to work in dispatch. Would have almost been worth the dispatchers going on strike just to watch the ensuing comedy.

Look's like the Twin Cities are working out and making money for Spirit!
Spirit Airlines announces 4 new destinations from MSP
Bargain-basement Spirit Airlines is expanding its presence at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport by announcing new service to several additional cities, all them offering warmer weather for Minnesotans starting in November.
The new destinations are: Los Angeles, Phoenix, Orlando and Tampa. Service starts Nov. 7, with online booking available now.
The routes were revealed at a news conference Monday at the Twin Cities airport’s No. 2 terminal, or the terminal formerly known as Humphrey.
Spirit started serving the Twin Cities in June 2012. Its base fares are kept low, while it charges for such “extras” as overhead baggage, water and printed boarding passes. Spirit also packs more people onto its planes by offering less leg room than other airlines.
Among those attending the news conference were Jeff Hamiel, the Metropolitan Airports Commission’s executive director, MAC Chairman Dan Boivin and Spirit executive Mark Kopczak.
Defending the deep a la carte menu that passengers can choose from, Kopczak said,“We need competitive air service and a menu of choices. It’s important to look at price. Not all customers want first class.”
Currently, Spirit flies from MSP to Chicago, Dallas, Denver and Las Vegas. It will resume nonstop seasonal service to Fort Lauderdale and Fort Myers on Nov. 7.
Spirit’s all-Airbus fleet operates about 250 daily flights to more than 50 destinations in the United States, Latin America and Caribbean. It was founded in 1980 in suburban Detroit as Charter One and is headquartered in Miramar, Fla., just north of Miami.

So up to 10 flights out of MSP as of Nov. 7. I hope we plan to add a gate.

I hope these customers don't expect their flights to be on time. The on time performance here, or lack thereof, is absolutely terrible and embarrassing.
Neither customers nor the company like to be late. Everyone is working hard to get thing going, at least on the line.
I'm sure the business decision to add these new flights from mini were base on your idea that customers will deliberately like to be late.
On another note, is good to see new routes.

I've had one late flight out of the last six.
Last night we were early, only to sit waiting for the gate to be ready for quite a long time.
