Oh well, nothing we can do

Bobs meeting its just that! Nothing special just a meeting. Company, routes, little bit of contract, re-introduce himself and Bendo to the NC, little bit of time performance and reliability follow by smiles and "low 5s"(&#128521 for the pilots only. Everyone else High 5s.

All so the NMB lady sees good intent.

No more "Free bottles of H20"! Crews will need to bring a credit card and pay for water starting in Aug. Ice is free if you bring a glass!!

The endless speculation is indeed entertaining. What's that ding I hear? I think my popcorn is ready.
Well at one point Republic bought Frontier. A long time ago Comair was going to buy Spirit but then Delta purchased Comair putting an end to that.

I sure hope an RJ company wouldn't try taking Spirit over. I would say right now we are just too expensive. Now one of the big 3 just may have the cash. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Meeting might just be about nothing. If it is about nothing I'm sure they are having a good laugh reading these posts.

I remember the Republic/Frontier debacle but had no clue about Comair's plan on buying Spirit. I'm sure I can speak for everyone when I say I am glad that experiment didn't work out

The NC is not invited to said meeting August 17/18. Yes, Stuart will be there.

Just another Mickey Mouse directive/idea that will be enthusiastically ignored by EVERYBODY and enforced by NOBODY. Kind of like single engine taxi,.... I haven't seen or done one since l became a "low tier pilot"🖕
