I made out like a bandit on this before, bought at $18, sold at $60. Bought it back at $33, again sold at $60!
Is third time a charm...like you, the gamble becomes do I buy it back one more time? Not sure yet.

The ones I see in dfw don't have engines on them

Well, guess that needs to be taken up with Pratt. Their NEO's aren't quite performing up to snuff.

Should have taken a LEAP of faith
Somehow they didn't ask me my opinion before placing the order.

I'm sure they are paying spirit a ton of money right now....

I can not believe that Airbus is still delivering the P&W NEOs without a permanent fix. We were supposed to fly on out of IAH last week but it canceled due to an undisclosed maintenance issue. Hmm, wonder what it was for?....

I bought in at $40...now that I posted this I'm sure it will drop like a rock. I told my wife I need $50k to buy my Panamera.

I did a buy limit at 39.00. Then panicked thinking I'll miss the boat, and bought in at 39.48. 7 minutes to close...

Yeah I put it at $40 this morning thinking it wouldn't touch it, we had seen the bottom, that it would echo LUV and continue climbing.
I think $48 is a good price on it for the time being, let's cross our fingers.
Only you guys know what is going on but from the outside looking it, UAL and AA are trying to price match yet Spirit's costs are 50% less on a CASM basis. They can only win that war so long.
How many more airplanes do you have on order?

I just can't bring myself to spend $50k on a used one so am finding every excuse to avoid it
. So I keep putting it off. Saw one in my neighborhood yesterday, wow what a beautiful car.

You only live once. Buy the car!

On one hand, on the other it's just a car.
I'm driving the lamest car in the family right now, 2014 VW Passat Sport
Good car, just the necessities "avionics" wise, but with my 180 mile round trip commute it costs me $14 in fuel and $6 in toll per trip plus something like $214 I pay for the car a month. At that I think I'll keep it for a couple more years until that EMB550 CA upgrade

Car, airplane, boat, nice vacation point is you have to enjoy life. I get saving and preparing for retirement but you should also enjoy yourself as well.

I drive a 2014 car so that I can have a 2007 airplane that I barely fly 30 hours a year these days
