For the record I’m completely fine with any and all avenues to help Spirit survive, but unless their business model can evolve I see all presented opportunities as bandaids over a large wound. The ULCC model was billed to give carriers like Spirit a major competitive advantage against legacy airlines when fuel prices spike; however, that has never been the case.


Good luck to everyone there and I hope better days are ahead.
