Luckly for us at Spirit it is a privately held company...so we can see the impending doom...and will hear about us closing while driving to work.

Ahhhhhh, the wisdom of having faith in Oaktree and Indigo.....
I'm just certain they hold the best interests of the company and it's employees dear to heart.....

The dictionary called for castle bravo, it wants you to learn the meaning of sarcasm.

But seriously thanks for trying.

Ox,
Can you tell us about NK's fuel hedging strategy?

 

[Mike man]

Spirit fuel use reduction plan...

-Using GPU and air carts where available to minimize APU use for the flight crews...but maintenance can run the APU for 8-12 hours over night.

-Planning flights with not extra fuel.

-Changing the W&B program to the crews so W&B delays will result in a NOI from Jeff C.

...thats all I can come up with for now.

...so W&B delays will result in a NOI from Jeff C...

What's an NOI? Sounds like some kind of dicipline...

Ok, but what about the hedging? Do we know what % of NK's current and future fuel needs are hedged, and at what price?

Try on: Notice of Investigation. Since the individual mentioned by Ox was former NWA management, this might occur quite frequently.

 

[Mike man]

I seriously doubt that any of the fuel is hedged...the releases normally have the current fuel price for the city pairs.

NOI's occur often...but seem to be retracted almost as often.
