I can't speak for Delta, but at least with American it seems that it's a toss up. Sometimes they'll cancel early, and other times they'll do the dreaded 30 minute rolling delay until it finally departs or cancels 6 hours later.
This meltdown doesn't make me think Spirit is going to fold, but it does make me wonder if management is actually prepared for the logistical side of growing the fleet as ambitiously as they've said.
