As it plans to emerge from bankruptcy, America's first ULCC is trying to reinvent itself as a more upscale airline with higher costs. Spirit Airlines says it needs to move upmarket to attract new customers who want a better product. But hosts Brian Sumers, Jon Ostrower, and Brett Snyder are skeptical. They wonder if this is just a short pit stop on the way to consolidation.Questions, responses or feedback?

L'Unité de lutte contre la corruption (ULCC), un organe officiel haïtien a recommandé hier mercredi (2 octobre 2024) des poursuites contre trois membres du Conseil présidentiel de transition pour abus de fonction, versement de pots-de-vin et corruption passive. Ils auraient essayé de monnayer leur soutien à la reconduction de Raoul Pascal Pierre-Louis à la présidence du Conseil d'administration de la Banque nationale de crédit (BNC). Nous en parlons avec notre invité en studio, le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste Frantz Duval.  Les trois conseillers du CPT et le président du BNC font objet d'une enquête. Selon Frantz Duval, ils doivent s'expliquer devant un juge sur des irrégularités bancaires détectées. Celles-ci concernent des écarts entre leurs revenus et des montants suspects observés sur leurs comptes. Ces révélations sont d'une grande ampleur, mais l'opinion publique reste sceptique quant à une issue judiciaire rapide, en raison des faiblesses traditionnelles du système judiciaire haïtien.Les suites politiques et diplomatiquesAvec Frantz Duval, on s'interroge aussi sur les répercussions politiques de cette affaire. En principe, l'un des conseillers accusés, Smith Augustin, devrait être nommé président du Conseil présidentiel le 7 octobre 2024. Le rédacteur en chef du Nouvelliste évoque aussi les tensions au sein du gouvernement haïtien. « La relation entre le Conseil présidentiel et le Premier ministre par intérim reste tendue ». Une récente convocation de la ministre des Affaires étrangères par le chef de cabinet du Conseil présidentiel de transition a été critiquée pour ne pas respecter les protocoles officiels. Cette convocation symbolise la fragilité de la cohabitation entre ces deux entités politiques. Certains ministres sont affiliés au Conseil présidentiel, tandis que d'autres relèvent directement du Premier ministre. Une réunion cruciale est prévue demain vendredi (4 octobre 2024) pour tenter d'apaiser ces tensions, mais la situation reste volatile et complexe.Haïti absent au sommet de la FrancophonieEn raison de la crise politique actuelle, Haïti ne sera pas représenté au plus haut niveau lors de la 19è édition du sommet de la Francophonie. Seul le chargé d'affaires haïtien en France assistera à cet événement. Ni le président, ni la ministre des Affaires étrangères ne feront le déplacement. Cette absence marque un moment délicat pour Haïti, où la passation de pouvoir au sein du Conseil présidentiel et les tensions politiques internes occupent toute l'attention des dirigeants.Expulsion des migrants haïtiens par la République dominicaineLa République dominicaine a annoncé une campagne massive de rapatriement de migrants haïtiens, avec l'objectif de renvoyer jusqu'à 10 000 personnes par semaine. C'est à lire aussi dans le Nouvelliste. Cette décision intervient après l'échec des pourparlers lors de l'Assemblée générale des Nations unies, qui aurait pu apaiser les tensions entre les deux pays. Depuis plus d'un an, les relations entre Haïti et la République dominicaine se détériorent, et ces expulsions massives visent principalement les Haïtiens vivant en République dominicaine, exacerbant ainsi les tensions diplomatiquesÀ lire aussiLa République dominicaine annonce un plan d'expulsions massives d'Haïtiens sans-papiers La grève des dockers dans l'est et le sud des États-UnisÀ La Nouvelle-Orléans, la grève des dockers commence à inquiéter les entrepreneurs, notamment ceux du secteur du café, nous explique notre envoyé spécial Vincent Souriau. C'est le cas de Matt Cronin, qui importe des grains du Costa Rica. Pour l'instant, il n'y a pas encore de pénurie, mais il craint que la situation se dégrade si la grève persiste. Avec ses 500 kilos de café écoulés chaque semaine, il dispose encore de stocks, mais estime que tout pourrait changer si le mouvement se prolonge jusqu'à Noël, affectant non seulement son entreprise, mais aussi toute la profession dans la région.Sur le plan national, cette grève tombe à un moment critique, en pleine renégociation des contrats des dockers et durant la campagne présidentielle américaine. Les dockers demandent une augmentation de leur salaire de 70% sur six ans. Cette situation met l'administration Biden sous pression, car un prolongement du conflit pourrait affecter les fêtes de fin d'année et alimenter les critiques, notamment de la part des électeurs conservateurs, qui estiment que Donald Trump aurait mieux géré la situation. Les accusations relancées contre Donald Trump pour son rôle dans l'assaut contre le CapitoleLe procureur spécial qui instruit le dossier contre Donald Trump pour tentatives d'inverser illégalement les résultats de l'élection de 2020 affirme que le républicain agissait en tant que candidat, donc en tant que personne privée. Il ne peut donc bénéficier d'une immunité présidentielle. Le procureur spécial Jack Smith a présenté un nouvel argumentaire avec des témoignages inédits, un argumentaire publié par la justice et dont les extraits sont à lire entre autres dans le New York Times. Le journal retient de ce document surtout les témoignages accablants pour l'ancien président. Un haut responsable de la Maison Blanche à l'époque cite par exemple une conversation entre Donald Trump, sa femme, sa fille et son gendre à bord de l'hélicoptère présidentiel. L'ex-président leur aurait dit : « Peu importe que vous ayez gagné ou perdu l'élection, il faut se battre comme un chien ». Le Washington Post souligne que Donald Trump de toute façon ne sera pas jugé dans cette affaire avant les élections du mois prochain (novembre 2024), et qu'« il est possible qu'il ne le soit jamais s'il gagne ». Mais ce dossier aura au moins « servi de rappel tardif d'un épisode peu glorieux, inspiré par Donald Trump, à un peu plus d'un mois d'un scrutin où les électeurs doivent décider s'ils veulent ou non remettre Donald Trump dans le fauteuil présidentiel » À écouter aussiÉtats-Unis: Donald Trump retourne au Capitole à Washington pour la première fois depuis l'assaut du 6 janvier Journal de la 1ère En Martinique, la proposition visant à supprimer « l'octroi de mer » sur certains produits sera-elle présentée aux élus de la Collectivité Territoriale ?

This episode is all about ULCC's with Travis Christ, Head of Avelo Marketing, joining the show. We were supposed to fly on Avelo's inaugural from Orlando to Dubuque, Iowa but the flight was canceled due to DBQ Airport still establishing their security plan.

Viva Aerobus CEO Juan Carlos Zuazua tells host David Casey how the Mexican ULCC has accelerated its growth since the pandemic, taking advantage of the increasing appetite for low-cost air travel in its home market and the demise of other operators. As well as expanding its domestic and international network, the airline is also pursuing a joint venture with U.S.-based Allegiant Air to boost their offering on transborder routes. The alliance is the first major partnership between two ULCCs in the Americas. The interview with Juan Carlos was recorded live at Routes World 2022 in Las Vegas, which took place in October.

Overall travel demand remains strong, says Ivan Feinseth. He and Chris Wang discuss the market outlook for airlines. Ivan notes that the consumer wants to spend on memories over merchandise. Chris says that airlines are typically poor performers in bear markets; however they outperformed in 2022 - rebounding off of pandemic lows. They then go over the post-covid recovery of airlines, as well as airline stocks to watch including American Airlines (AAL), Frontier (ULCC), and Southwest (LUV).

He and Patton discuss embracing the nonprofit competition with strategic networking which leads to a better exchange of ideas, resources, and talent.  A good nonprofit leader will recognize when an organization is spread too thin – you can't be all things to all people – and values coalition partners because a community isn't well served by mediocre.  Teddy also shares insight on building a strong mission-focused strategic plan as a living document.  You'll learn how a successful nonprofit leader, who began himself as a volunteer, takes intentional steps to attract and retain talented staff, volunteers, and board members. ABOUT TEDDYTeddy McDaniel currently serves as president and CEO of the Urban League of Central Carolinas in Charlotte, NC. Founded in in 1978, ULCC is an affiliate of the National Urban League, a historic civil rights organization dedicated to economic empowerment to elevate the standard of living in historically underserved communities. Previously, Teddy was president and CEO of the Austin, TX, Urban League from 2012 – 2017 and served as COO of the Greater Phoenix Urban League starting in 2009. Before entering the non-profit sector, Teddy spent 15 years in the financial service industry. From 2004-08, he was an assistant vice president at GE Capital in Scottsdale, Arizona, and started his career with Chase Manhattan Bank in New York and spent three years with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, NA.  Born in Atlanta, GA and raised in Columbus, Ohio, McDaniel is a 3rd Generation graduate of Morehouse College.

The Ultra-Low-Cost-Carrier model has exploded worldwide. After doing exceedingly well during two previous downturns, 9/11 and the 2008 recession, these carriers are once again gearing up for rapid expansion as we emerge from COVID-19.  Frontier is the first passenger carrier to announce hiring during the COVID crisis. Spirit is rumored to start up interviews again soon. Despite this impressive feat, the arrogant attitude towards the ULCC's has continued amongst some pilots even after they've seen explosive growth and contractual gains. We sat down with former Spirit CEO Ben Baldanza to make sense of it all. We talk about winners and losers. Is Delta delusional to think they can be cash neutral in Q2? We discuss timelines for bankruptcies and possible mergers. We learn what's next from a true expert and industry insider who has served as a high-level leader within pretty much every major airline.

Flying was luxurious (and costly) before 1977. Then deregulation happened. Now flying is cheap and bad. Pioneering low-cost / no-frills airlines like People Express showed us the way. In its short life (1981-1987) People Express introduced many lamentable aspects to U.S. air travel: paying to check bags, exchanging comfort for low prices, and going to Newark for some reason. And wait until you hear about their "innovative" ticketing procedure.  As Homer Simpson said, it introduced a generation of hicks to air travel. The hicks were all of us, it turns out. Because People Express failed, but today the whole industry operates on its business model.
