Did you get so tired of lecturing Spirit pilots that you had to come back and do it here too?

dude - just read the CRUs. It’s all spelled out - not magic at all.

Relax. Go outside. Touch grass. See the sunshine.

I forget where I read/heard but supposedly it’s something to do with the new doors on the suite. It might still be stuck in the approval process.

Please read the latest CRU. I don't know how much more straightforward it could have been. I'm not going to post a direct quote from it, but the takeaway is clear:

- Current vacancy bid is for IAH and DEN 320CA
- there will potentially be a very limited 737CA bid in Feb/ March
-- the next significant NBCA bid will be at end 2026 for summer 27 flying
- no WB vacancies anticipated at this time, and they will use min staffing to shrink and rebalance bases as needed (it literally says that in black and white)

This is exactly what they've been saying for the last few months, and is exactly what other posters are trying to communicate to you. I don't understand why you're on here trying to distort the reality of that the company is clearly communicating to the pilot group.

OMA and DSM are fun layovers. You also won’t make more money than them.

They are nice…. But what’s nicer is trading out of a DSM layover for STT layover with a DH on the last day of a trip…
