If you look closely tonight you can find new flying that's unannounced on spirit.com

Lets see if anyone can find them all before the announcement

On a sidenote - We have got our piece of LUV for adding SEA in the latest PR release on BWI-MSP -

"At Southwest the bare facts are simply that two checked bags*, airport check-in, carry-on bags, ticket changes*, non-alcoholic drinks, and of course snacks are NOT so-called optional services, "said Andrew Watterson, Southwest Airlines Senior Vice President of Network and Revenue Management. "We believe that it's not in the holiday spirit to charge bag fees for the first two checked bags*, much less even higher bag fees, during the holiday season."

Which is why now that upgrade time has become an eternatity we are no longer attracting professionals. You simply just don't make much money in the right seat. The only hope was to upgrade fast and make legacy narrow body FO pay without the retirement. Moving forward we are going to attract some real gems and/or some good guys that will just rotate in and then out to a legacy. Very similar to early 2001 and you can see the peaches we got around that time frame. Obviously there are some exceptions.
Ok, I'll bite.. Playing devils advocate here.. But most of us have gone through first year pay here. It sucks!! Cost this guy a lot. But, should we take a piece of the contract pie to bring first year pay up to par with the others? Or, is first year pay the companies issue? Soon decent applicants will be hard to attract. It's sort of already happening here.. If the company can't find decent applicants, then make them bring the pay up to attract them. The regionals are doing it with signing bonuses and what not. Just some food for thought.

You can't raise the upper bar by lowering the lower bar.

I don't see anything on the site but I'll place bets on Bermuda, Belize City, San Antonio, Salt Lake, Sacramento, St Louis, and Mobile as the long shot.

Some will get butt hurt by me saying this but yes there is a piece of the contract that has negotiating capital, IMO. Higher 1st year rate ($57.87) in exchange for allowing only new hire (not recurrent, upgrade, or differences training) FTDs and sims be conducted at any hour of the day/night.

Well, that sucks. It won't let me post a pic, says it's too big.

I say it's: OKC.

Although, I think this is some idiot reporter's screw up.

Low-cost Spirit, Allegiant airlines add flights to Las Vegas from OKC | News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KTUL
The title of the article is wrong, the article itself doesn't mention us going to OKC. Did you read the article?
