Yes, they use IAE V2500s. Do you know something interesting?

It's probably nothing. Just a "hunch". There are rumors that kingfisher isn't doing to hot, and may be facing some reduction due to lease defaults, unless the Indian govnt does something to bail them out.
I have nothing to substantiate this.
Cheers.

Any commuters notice that we are not the only ones who do this? I believe Continental only has one JS in some/all of their 737's, at least everyone I have ridden on and that is about 5.

I was told that the reason we eliminated a seat is due to our raft capacity. B/c we stuff 178 passenger seats onto the 320, that means we need raft capacity for 186 adults. Well, guess what - A320 standard raft capacity is for 185.
2 Choices:
- upgrade to a larger raft than standard
- remove the standard secondary flightdeck jumpseat
Guess which option Spirit picked?
As we move to an all A320 fleet and grow larger, more guys will be using us to commute - we'll be leaving more behind.
