Spirit to Furlough 200

[Shrek]

Shifty---long time no talk! TC is about 220 from the bottom (system wide), i'm (JM) about 200 from the bottom. Dog is about 180 ish. I talked to Paul O and he expects about 150 total furloughs so we will all make it

THAT is a little good news in a whole industry of crap news. Good to hear though........keep on keepin on.

 

[Shrek]

Hey Skippy,
Is this going to hit TC or did he make the cut? Shrek, maybe you know. I'm still in BRU hanging out until the 17th. Then I can join you in the unemployment line. DEE DEE MAO mutha fuker

Bring it big daddy...........we will all have a blast!! Lemons into lemonaid........voila

Spirit Airlines, Inc.

OST-2008- Exemption - Ft. Lauderdale-Manaus, Brazil

July 3, 2008

Application for an Exemption

Spirit Airlines, Inc. applies for an exemption from 49 U.S.C. § 41101 to authorize scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property and mail between points in the United States and Manaus, Brazil. Spirit also requests an allocation of seven weekly frequencies to conduct this service and that it be designated to the Government of Brazil to operate this service.

Specifically, Spirit requests the following authority: From a point or points in the United States via intermediate points to Manaus, Brazil and beyond to points in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Chile. Spirit intends to offer daily scheduled air service between Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and Manaus using 144-seat Airbus A319 aircraft, pursuant to the schedule attached as Exhibit NK-1.

Under the amended agreement with Brazil, the U.S. currently has twenty one new weekly frequencies available for immediate allocation. Spirit is requesting seven of these new frequencies. Spirit would bring important new competition to the market and is prepared to begin service as soon as it receives all needed government approvals from the U.S. and Brazil.






Not sure how we're gonna pull this off with 28 airplanes

My understanding is that the company approached the union reps about IRO language...neat!

He's busy adding more fiber to his diet for the next time he talks some sh*t...

It's pretty absurd he wants to continue to try to make money with the nickel-dime extras.. raise fares to where we can make money, and send the FLL agents to charm school.

Well I survived the initial 45.. but the next round will get me.. I'll probably be in the unemployment line by Sept..

Hey i know... maybe uncle hulas will give me my old job back..
