They can’t even staff the planes they have let alone 40 more.

One would think that is a good thing, and at a normal airline it would. But at Spirit they don't seem to care. Been like this for a full year now and management hasn't done squat to address the problem. The only problem they have been apt to address is how much to line their pocketbooks by securing a merger.

Perhaps that’s the management plan, allow the place to go into the crapper, have B6 back out of the deal, and then go back to their sweetheart deals with F9.

Yep. Very real chance that B6 will be buying mainly airframes, an order book, and some relatively senior CAs if the deal actually goes through at all unless something is done. Even people who really like it here are putting in apps elsewhere. When you don’t retain enough FOs, upgrades slow to a crawl, and those who do upgrade are stuck in eternal reserve, flying with FOs that only have a few hundred hours in type on the least desirable routes. That ain’t the kind of career progression most people want.

This displacement has the most junior captain in the system as a summer 2021 hire.
