Spirit Furloughing

Unfortunately, this is a long time coming. Day 1 hour 1 of indoc at Spirit March 2012 I was proudly told "more people eat at McDonalds than Ruth Chris Steakhouse". Eh, ok what about revenue? No cargo, no mail contracts, no frequent flyer program to speak of.

A few months later during initial OE at my current place, I see them loading cargo and mail on the airplane. Then cargo pallets sitting at SFO ready to be loaded to places around the world, then an integrated frequent flyer program. The industry changed after 2008. While there was a brief opening for the ULCC's and they did OK during that, but as airlines are banks now with their own currencies, that opening has passed.

Best of luck to those at Spirit.

Ha! I remember meeting you at Airbus MIA, as a Feb ‘12 hire at VX when we were both at the facility for training. Sheesh how time flies! I can’t believe it’s been that long.
