Is Spirit hurting that bad for qualified applicants? Just not seeing what they gain from this.

GoJet, being a non wholly owned regional, can't provide any kind of interview/flow program to a major. GoJet gets to advertise career progression.

Assuming the majors will drain the LLCs like NK and F9, NK secures a source of pilots.

That's my quick take.

I heard each "flowee" gets a new 321 named after them for a quarter.

I don't understand why Delta and United would be cool with this. I don't see how they could outright prohibit that, but still. ???

They could shift flying away from G7 if they wanted.

Why would it matter? As long as their feed is flown for cheap.

Like flysooner said, they could pull flying. Look what happened to Compass. They partnered with AA, and poof! Their flow was gone. Did Delta end flying with Compass? No, but I think they made some displeasure known. Though Delta specializes in business travel and more discriminating travel tastes, I would still think helping feed Spirit with pilots is not something they'd be thrilled about. As for United...I don't know .
