I guess some of you haven't been following any of this since the final ruling from the DOT on the 7th.

We have applied for an exemption (which it spells out on the last page of the final DOT ruling). and also mentioned here:

If the DOT doesn't grant us this, all it means is we start up those stations that we don't go to right now and fly it 3x a week, which we are planning doing in May anyways. Why do you think Ted sent out that email today, right after this news came out about how we are not listed? Probably to let us know that they are finishing the deal. Which means the DOT accepted our request or we start flying those those stations listed in the final ruling 3x a week, or anything in between.

"Spirit Airlines Inc, a low-cost carrier which was not listed by the Treasury as reaching agreement, said it expects "to agree on terms soon" for payroll grants."

This is not about if we are getting the money or not, it's about what we have to do to meet the DOT's requirements to get it.
