Nobody knows what would've happened, but I don't think it would have been the slam dunk that many on here seem to speculate over. It could have easily been blocked just like with B6.
What we do know to be true is that TC lied under oath that NK would be fine continuing on its own and that there was a "plan" to make money again.
Ted gets zero sympathy in my book.
I’m with you. I remember those town halls where he flat out said anyone claiming Spirit was headed for bankruptcy was misinformed and that furloughs weren’t even on the table. The entire c suite botched the fallout and then walked away with golden parachutes for lying through their teeth. No sympathy for Ted here. he tanked it on the stand and drove the last nail in the coffin. That said, the shareholders are the reason spirit got into this mess, and we had the wrong leadership in place to steer us out of it.
