I was sitting in RSW on Christmas day and one of our agents lost it and started yelling at customers over the loud speaker. I don't think our service level would or could be diminished further

Exactly. Thats why I mentioned we were not at fault.

But also, our ridiculous fueling policy wont even allow the FAs to board, when fueling, even if a mechanic is on board to monitor the fueling process. So we show 35 prior, no boarding yet.

Im still amazed how insane that policy is.

I was just there, I didn't hear anything about gate agents, the ramp was short staffed and we have 6 planes on the ground for 4 gates at one point because two planes were on mx delays.

I think he's right. But, I still wouldn't see a Frontier-Spirit merger.

I would, if I was a Frontier guy, start wondering how I look in a blue pilot shirt though.

I disagree, Spirit-Frontier makes a lot of sense. Not much overlap and we could double in size overnight. I wouldn't be surpirsed if they ditched the Spirit name either.

The scariest thing about a Spirit-Frontier merger to me is that when asked about the possibility managements best excuse is that "Frontier has different engines on their buses". Not very reassuring to me.

What's your reasoning?

I see blue going to one of the big 3 and us and frontier getting together. Of course it's the airline industry.
