Look at Southwest, they just employed a poison pill; great company but in trouble too. Spirit poison pilled at the start of Covid. Relax. If you’re DFW based, go to American. To leave a dumpster to be at the bottom of another dumpster is funny; and then to be waitlisted from the bottom the ‘new’ dumpster is hilarious.
Lol I don't know if you're trolling or serious. This airline is in a metric f*ckton of trouble. Yes, we haven't filed bankruptcy yet, but that's because they're still trying to refinance the $2 billion in debt due next year. Hate to break it to you, but the odds of that happening are slim to none at this point. They still aren't cash flow positive, and I doubt the new 'plan' is going to sway the banks. Scott Haralson leaving for Hertz was not a good look. If they fail at renegotiating this debt, bankruptcy WILL happen....not maybe, not possibly...but certainly. We are the most leveraged airline in the country by a WIDE margin.
You trashing somebody for leaving here to go to AA or any other airline just makes you look like you have your head deeply buried in the sand.
