Default LAX base

Hi guys,

I am about to start training soon at Spirit and my buddy that is in new hire class right now said that they have been told the LAX base will be announced this coming Tuesday. Any idea if this will go senior or Junior and if senior how long you think it should take to get it.

Also any details of the new IND, STL, and UIO routes that are being added beginning next year. Thanks guys.

Hey!!! Buddy!!!

It'll go senior AF. Garunteed 5+ years to hold LAX. We're all super excited about the new IND and STL overnights so those will also go senior AF. Did your friend say anything about the 330 order? CAK- Buenas Aires starting next spring.

Go Spirit!!!

That's funny. I was at corporate recently and was told that an LAX base is never going to happen. "The labor rules in LAX are [too complicated]..." read, it's too expensive... FWIW. However, if there is a LAX base it will definitely go senior. Lot of pilots already living out there that came here when they heard about the coming LAX base 3-5 years ago, oh, and Seattle base too.

Good luck in training.

Actually all 330 orders have been modified and we are now getting 380's. The seat configurations will be 880 Pax on those bad boys.

Limiting the capacity to 880 saves them from hiring an additional flight attendant. Genius!!
