Not that the business model Spirit was trying to achieve was a big secret, but I thought this press release was interesting....
Anybody know how easyJet staffs it's domiciles?

How does Easyjet schedule pilots? Someone told me 5 ON - 2 OFF, but I find that hard to believe. Even Ryanair has 5 ON - 4 OFF.

Is he related to Easyjet's , Andrew Harrison ?

Fellow Spirit Pilots,

Your MEC met this morning via conference call and took the following action.

LOA 34 (Satellite Basing) was cancelled/revoked. According to the LOA, either party may cancel with 60 days notice. Notice was provided to Spirit in an email earlier this afternoon.

Fraternally,

Im sure this will matter to those 6 pilots more than it matters to the company. It is only 3 lines of flying (one of which is a relief line).
