Honest question, are Spirit pilots that fly those jets scabs also or are you talking about flying a plane to storage? These aren't B-29s after WWII being decommissioned, they're fully functional narrowbody airliners that a lessor owns and will likely be repurposed sooner rather than later. Perhaps flying it to storage for the company would be sad, but the airplane will likely continue to fly with someone else. Regarding flying B-29s to storage I knew someone that did plenty of it when he wasn't flying B-50s. I'm really confused about this Spirit thing, it seems as if some folks think the government is the villain and the pilots are all hapless heroes and no one cares about the business model they used. If a bump in operating costs sinks the company after a couple of weeks it's running on the frayed thread of a shoestring. I'm pointing the finger at Spirit management as they bail out with big compensation packages. I'll never be a C-suite guy, but
@derg is.
