Has to be more than just Cuba. Cuba is only like 6-8 additional flights daily. We always cut flights during fall.

They've been pretty short on reserves it seems lately, I've had ten voicemails from scheduling for Junior Assignments in the last 2 weeks and I am not on the volunteer list. They're looking for someone to cover a flight to Chicago tonight and they have no reserves to cover it.

Wow. Denver is looking already starting to look ugly again today. It usually takes until the afternoon for the wheels start flying off the wagon. Have been consistently waiting 30+ minutes for a gate. Almost makes me feel like the company is tanking on purpose.

Yeah, it was over an hour wait this morning at 7:00am. Our gate was open, it just took that long to get rampers. But hey, whatever saves a dime for management's pocket!

Swiss port workers get paid $2 an hour more to work Spirit flights in Denver. Once you are assigned F9 or Spirit you are locked in. Rampers are dropping like flies on the F9 side. Rumor is they will strike on monday. Can't wait! But hey, Indigo save a penny.....GO workers have to work 2 shifts a week on the ramp. Wait until the pilots get to strike

Wow, this is starting to look more like the original Frontier. I'm sure ALPA will do all they can to support Frontier, Just like they did in the 80's. The failed merger attempt with southwest even resembles the former attempt with United. Somebody over there had better start reading history.

I truly believe KARMA is a b%#<€. Just look at the ramp situation in Denver. The company's greed is causing significant operational issues. Just wait until they start pointing fingers in our direction for their self inflicted chaos. Indigo makes Scrooge McDuck look like Mahatma Gandhi.

We waited 50 minutes for our gate in Denver last night, along with several other planes. Our numbers have to be awful.
I don't see us getting to an actual strike. The company has tons of airplanes coming over the next several years and needs to hire hundreds each year just to fill those seats, let alone any attrition. Why would anyone want to come work here when EVERY OTHER AIRLINE HIRING WILL PAY AT LEAST 40% MORE? Especially if we're making no headway in negotiations.
When there's a class of 20 and only 5 show up the company will be forced to do something.
