@kpottermn If people are claiming spirit deserves to fail, they should support ending the EAS. That is (largely) a scam as well. We need to be consistent here.
@pitdesi@kpottermn I’m curious, do you know what the actual dollar amount (roughly) would be for a frontier flight crew vs Ryanair?
I feel like it can’t possibly be more than a few extra dollars per person for a 180 person flight no?
@kpottermn We also have more extreme weather. I’ve only seen outdoor boarding work at AZA, PGD and DEN (kind of). You just can’t really do that when it’s regularly -10° out.
I do think there’s enough secondary airports. Allegiant makes them work well. Hopefully the merger goes well.
@kpottermn Also I’ve never seen a Sun Country plane with a reasonable turn around time. Our airports just aren’t set up to have passengers lined up before the flight arrives at the gate (if it’s even legal). Hell 80% of my SY flights end up waiting on the taxiway for a gate for 30 minutes.
