Some good news for the Spirit folks...

[saviboy]

Nice...very nice...what of his do you see?

On an internet forum how else should one judge intellect?

Typically people type the same way they speak...

C'mon Mike, you no it ain't neceseralee tru!!

Any new info regarding those 320's from Clickair? Would be great to get some good news for once.

 

[Mike man]

I heard from a MX guy that they are on the way. They have old FMS software, no GPS, and tubes for the displays and they have CFM engines that use N1 not EPR...

...I'm just telling you what he said.

Not to rain on anybody's parade, but don't get your hopes up

 

[Mike man]

Speaking parade rain...

...why are our FLL parking passes only good for 6 months?

 

[CosmoKramer]

because June is the predicted takeover of terminal 4 by jetblue.

 

[kwick]

Jetblue is a distant third at FLL, one or two international flights isn't going to dent Spirit's FLL dominance.

Good Luck to them deplaning their passengers and then towing their aircraft to other terminals for departure.

US Air tried that on a much larger scale. How did that work out?

 

[Pilotbob3]

Oh don't worry...JetBlue will be fine over at Terminal 3. It should be officially announced by FLL jan 6.

I think the question is how healthy is spirit. can they survive competition?

JB's CASM includes a number of 100 seat aircraft. I wonder what the apples-to-apples comparison would be? Same aircraft, same route, etc.

And incidentally, CASM is only half the equation. What is Spirit's RASM?
