More reason why Spirit and JetBlue is a match made in heaven.
I think that’s a clear sign that UAL doesn’t like the possibility. Which tells you that the B6 C suite may not be completely crazy after all.

UYA has 70% of departures, JB+NK have 12%, but we are the problem......

My wife just mentioned that the JB pilot wives are saying Spirit accepted the offer. I haven’t seen anything official.

JB pilot wives FB page is the official source. It’s a done deal.

I would not underestimate the knowledge and power of FB mom groups - no joke. I used to be a doubter too.

With JB down more than the rest of the industry today, and Spirit up on a down day, looks like it could possibly be true that the offer was accepted. Plus it is Friday, so it gives the market the weekend to digest the news.

Does Spirit have internet on the airplane? Is it free to pilots? What company is the internet through?

It is not free to pilots.

Internet is Thales.

Couple of companies ago, I would always check with the catering company where I was flying to. Numerous times told the FO to change our destination based on the food carts. They were never wrong. "Scheduled"passenger flying.
