Some good news for the Spirit folks...

[CosmoKramer]

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

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?

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?
