Pay Versus Performance
Pay Versus Performance Tables
The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation of our NEOs for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021, and our financial performance for each such fiscal year:
Narrative Disclosures to Pay Versus Performance Table
The graphs below compare the CAP to our PEO and the average of the CAP to our non-PEO NEOs, with (i) our cumulative TSR and our Peer Group TSR, (ii) our net income (loss), and (iii) our Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin, in each case, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
TSR amounts reported in the graph assume an initial fixed investment of $100 as of April 1, 2021, the date of our initial public offering, and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested.
Compensation Actually Paid and Company and Peer Group Cumulative TSR
The chart below compares the CAP to our PEO and the average of our non-PEO NEOs with our cumulative TSR and our Peer Group TSR.
Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income (Loss)
The chart below compares the CAP to our PEO and the average of our non-PEO NEOs with our net income (loss).
Compensation Actually Paid and Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin
The chart below compares the CAP to our PEO and the average of our non-PEO NEOs with our Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin.
Financial Performance Measures
We believe the following performance measures represent the most important financial performance measures used by us to link compensation actually paid to our PEO and non-PEO NEOs for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024:
Our annual incentives also include operational goals that are inclusive of the following metrics: Aircraft Availability at Start of Day, Controllable Turn Performance, DOT Mishandled Bag Rate (Industry Rank), and Head Start On-Time Percentage.
For additional details regarding our most important financial performance measures, please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Performance-Based Cash Incentives.

Name Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin (non-GAAP)      
Non-GAAP Measure Description Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin is a non-GAAP measure and represents adjusted pre-tax income (loss), a non-GAAP measure, divided by revenues, a GAAP measure. Adjusted pre-tax income (loss) represents pre-tax income (loss), a GAAP measure, adjusted for special items. The sum of these non-GAAP adjustments is referred to as the “pre-tax impact.” See Appendix A for a reconciliation of adjusted pre-tax income (loss) to the corresponding GAAP measure. While we use numerous financial and non-financial performance measures to evaluate performance under our compensation programs, Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin is the financial performance measure that, in our assessment, represents the most important performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the table) used to link CAP to our NEOs to our performance. We believe it is a useful indicator to compare the profitability of our business against industry peers of different sizes and derivations of pre-tax income (loss) are well-recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by our management, as well as by investors. Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin is not determined in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable across all carriers, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
