Looking at thier route structure there is a lot of overlap of course... However it could permit entry into some nice markets for Spirit. Canada and Cuba for example. It's to soon to speculate as to how this is going to go down though... I'll keep my eyes on the trade databases for more information.

Funny you mention that Set, we were talking about the Cuba Gate, who knows?..
They certainly don't get to manage billions by making stupid decisions. We look at next few months, these guys are 2 yrs from now.

I really hope it works on our favor, we are due for some good here.

It's good news. We need to position ourselves further south.

I don't know if this is good news or not. Have you ever heard of a Whipsaw?

With that said, Tiger OZ and Tiger Sing are under one company, but operate separate seniority lists. The difference is that when they say Tiger has 30 airplanes on order, they are split between the two sections of the company, and you never know who is getting what or when. Also they have the ability to shift A/C between the two sections of the company as they please. The main difference between this situation and that situation, is that here we have a large amount of over lap. Get ready guys, I see this as a bumpy ride.

P.S. I am normally positive. I hope my gut feeling is wrong.

Cautiously optimistic...
Any Air Jamaican crew out there with thoughts on their side of the coin?

Bored,
You sound like you've been reading the other NK form site too much. The sky is not falling until it hits you on the head. There is no sense in fretting about what could possibly happen down the road. I try to look at the positive side of this which is at least NK is in a good enough posture to make a move like this.
I'm not being naive, there is just no point in taking shots in the dark about all the things that could go bad for the pilot group. If you want to worry about something how about those poor Air Jam guys
