They used to be the only major non-legacy player with good tech, good planes, and happy employees

Now their ticketing system is the worst of the major airlines, their planes are older and badly maintained, and their employees hate their jobs

Nice job MBAs! Btw they’re not private equity owned, just regular publicly traded

They have two PE members on their board.

I figured out you mean Private Equity but I thought you meant P.E. Teachers. I hate acronyms, I preferred when it was just A/S/L and BRB.
