With barely 2% annual 2019 GDP growth and 1T annual deficits, our government is ill equipped to handle this crisis. Oscar is smart to reduce so aggressively. Best just to embrace the suck.

Management knows what booking look like going forward and I don’t, so I’ll defer judgment until the movie plays out more. My concern is we all saw a similar movie back in 08 (precipitous economic drop) and the beneficiaries were the express carriers. I remember us (Skywest) getting more crj700’s while mainline shed pilots and airplanes. While we have a different management team in place from then, we are on the eve of Kirby taking the reins. Kirby who has a track record for adoring the RJ.



It seems like it would be great opportunity to shed high CASM rj ,where capacity purchase agreements allow, and capitalize on low interest rates and low demand on small NB’s. It would require a shift in lowering frequency. But that would also relieve some stress on our hubs, which would creat a temporary void that can later be filled with mainline when this crisis blows over.

Discount planes flown by discount pilots?

Remember. Evey time you see a Spirit flight there is an empty trailer park out there.

You ain’t seen a discount pilot until you've seen what Kirby has planned. Get out the popcorn

Id rather fly 85 hours a month at Spirit than 50 at UAL while RJ flying remains constant and increases over time

Talk about a discount.
