As AAL is paying debt down, Spirit is taking on new debt, to the tune of 600 million. Hey Excargodog, want to remind us what’s happening with the interest rates these days? Lol

Oh good God. The guy was in remission. Why did you have to poke him and wake him up?

Because you can. It’s like walking too close to the car in the parking lot with the yappy dog. You know it’s going to lose its mind.

As the economy turns very sour in 2023 I think all airlines are at risk of a sharp pull-back in hiring.

Yeah, only 1000 new hires vs 2000

Where ya been? The economy is already very sour and was in bad shape during COVID too, people still traveled in record numbers when allowed to.

Thats the story. For now.

Hasn't the economy soured for the last year but it's getting better but the sky is also falling?

Remember from Economics 201: Stocks are a leading economic indicator, GDP changes are a coincidental economic indicator, unemployment rate (layoffs) are a lagging economic indicator.

Who published this story / source (1000 instead of 2000 new hires)? I'd like to know more about it.
