that is one angle. The other is Barry and his doom and gloom is contract negotiations. They don’t want to pay anything close to what AA/UA/DAL just gave their pilots. So let’s create doom and gloom. We cannot afford it. We’re losing bookings, recession, blah blah blah. Funny it’s only us and spirit other wise domestic demand seems to be fine everywhere else.

You don't sink the stock price to try and save a couple bucks on the pilot pay. The airline is a lot bigger than us

If Frontier is predicting a loss, I'm pretty sure we are going to post a loss.

Load factors actually seem to be back up a little to me. But as soon as school started in August, I started flying a lot of half empty planes. And fuel prices were high too. I see fuel is just starting to come down a little now, but this last quarter was pretty ugly. I'm sure we will post a small loss.

Domestic demand isn’t good everywhere else but they are able to spread their costs out much better than the ULCC. If you look a huge portion of legacy profit right now is in credit cards. Delta like 7 billion. The ULCC business model is just complete garbage .

we have credit cards too. It all comes back to customer service and product execution. We don't have to roll out the red carpet. Customers don't even have to love us. They just need to get from point A to B (actually get there in a reasonable amount of time) without being completely mistreated. If they can do that there is a market and money to be made.

That bar is awfully low, and we still cant do that.

Right. But simultaneously it's sad and encouraging to know that we easily could. Just a slight change in attitude and execution from management and we could provide a halfway decent product while still being the lowest cost operator.

It really wouldn't take much to make this place a decent airline. Hopefully the next CEO can make a few positive changes

You're comparing apples to oranges though.
