That should go over well for our relationships. They already struggle after their mother and I divorced during Covid.
Kids are resiliant, they will make it. But you are right, when an airline goes under and the paychecks instantly go to zero, it has a deep impact on all involved. I watched my old man become a functioning alcoholic after Brannif 1.0 and Braniff 2.0 went under. He ended up doing some overseas work but he was never the same. My uncle lost his house when the first Midway went under. Him and my Aunt and my cousins all had to move in with my Grandparents for a few years till he finally landed a Corporate gig. There stories are why I took the pay cut for a few years and started over at Delta. There are a handful of airlines that are to big to fail, but Spirit isn’t on that list. Plan accordingly.
