It reads as though Spirit is taking 14 A319’s over the next couple of months. Are you not English proficient?

Doesn't this means NK is going to purchase 14 planes NK is leasing right now?

We’re supposed to get rid of 10 319s before the end of this growth period. I wonder if we’re keeping more of them then planned.

Your fleet has 31 A319s.

They need to start sending them to LGA on OE flights. That would "fix the glitch" and the problem would sort itself out.

This is baffling unless they're going to send them trough a refurb program.

Shoot we even have planes that are only a few months old that look like hell. How does a plane that new have two inches of dust and a pedestal full crumbs and hair. Even the compartments that used to hold the manuals have a gross sludge on the bottom. This leads me to believe that 1. The cockpits aren’t actually getting cleaned every 30 days, and 2. The mess isn’t just us but mx playing a big roll in cockpit filth.

Btw if your coffee is more than a third full it’s not staying in the cup holder on takeoff. If you have cup from the terminal with a lid I’ve had success with placing in down in the cubby at the back with water bottles standing in front. If it’s an airplane cup, just finish it.
