It just seems it has been going down steadily
No I am not worried. I go to work and do my job to the best of my ability. The people who get stock options, bonuses, and golden parachutes can worry about the stock price.
Nobody has been held accountable for the summer meltdown. Nobody has taken a step back and said "maybe we need to care about our employees more than some electronic high five". Nobody has pushed back against the outsourcing of the competent gate agents and replacement with the sometimes not so competent. If I was an investor these things (along with low fuel prices and increased competition) would bother me and I would probably sell.
For a company as profitable as this, I cannot understand why we do not have a TA, why my pay is always shorted, and why the airplanes are still dirty after years of promises. Spirit has lots of very good people. The company is blowing its chance to have a good company culture, most are new...this is the time.
I love it here, but it is getting very old and I am not sure that mgmt is in this for the long haul anymore. I hope that I am proven wrong.
