Spirit wouldn’t leave a gap big enough to create a “super painful restructuring” though. I wouldn’t want them to go belly up, but the reality is that they don’t do charters, cargo flying, long haul flying, have a robust loyalty program, Mx programs and contracts with people outside their own company, etc…
Definitely not the same
