Has Spirit done all of the above? My understanding is not one non-Pilot (admin, HR, etc.) at Spirit has been laid off/cut yet.
Because Spirit has always had one person doing the job of three people and pay them half as much as other airlines. That’s why there is more turnover and no one ever answers the phone. They have always run lean. Baldanza used to only turn on half the ballest lights at hq.
