Spirit still moving to BNA?

What’s the long term play here? Operate two domiciles forever?

What’s the planned go-live date in Orlando?
 
WOW! so much faith in NYC and NY state in general.... NYC, and the state, will do everything possible to increased their taxes and chase them away just like they are doing with all the other businesses and just like what they did with Amazon (that was going to be in the same neighborhood as JetBlue is)
Its sad how NYC and NY state have gone off the deep end with increasing taxes and chase away business like Amazon. Its like they have no idea that taxes do affect business and individual decisions. It will be too late by the time they realize it unfortunately.
 
It's interesting how they are only now putting out a press release for that. The BNA move has been cancelled for 6 months and NK's new MCO OCC is opening in a matter of days. All non-DX groups assigned there have mostly moved and bought homes. The DX group is still locked up in legal dispute and there is no end in sight.

What is there to dispute?
 
IIRC there were concerns over not paying the moving cost of dispatchers that go to the MCO facility.

Lots more to it than that, evidently. This post by @dx8709 is a good breakdown of what has been going on - no idea what the status of the court case is currently, though:

Here you go:
 
Hurricane resilience is a key reason for setting up a new operations-control center at Orlando International Airport, but COVID-19 taught the airline that it would be doable and advisable, Spirit officials said.
“All the airlines have only one operations-control center and they typically are in those bigger cities,” said Greg Christopher, Spirit’s operations vice president. “This is a unique situation.”
The facility has a generator, multiple data connections and is fully redundant. It will have nearly all of the capabilities of the airline’s South Florida center, minus some support duties such as parts procurement, Christopher said.
Sounds like "savior breath" to me...

Fukushima Nuke Station was, ah, "fully redundant", and it was built by those notably punctilious Nipponese.

Plan and Act accordingly. Carry on.
