From what I understand, Delta has been using their order book of NEOs to create a bow wave to get ahead of the inspections. If they can get their hands on airplanes(or just their engines), they can bring more of the parked, fleet ready, engineless new planes onto the line while the Spirit NEOs go through standardization

Would you prefer the already liquidating Spirit was unable to sell their assets? Delta is no worse or better than any other potential buyer of whatever asset they might be interested in.

Found the claims…
Delta was providing ground handling services (CRE/ACS) and subleasing airport space to Spirit at BWI under interline/service agreements. When Spirit went bankrupt, it left $381,966 in unpaid bills. Delta filed a proof of claim to get in line as a creditor to recover that money.
So the May 13 Notice of Appearance wasn’t about asset acquisition — it was debt collection, ensuring Delta stays informed as the liquidation proceeds and its claim gets addressed.

That's not to say DAL isn't on the hunt for deals though, as would anyone else in the industry. Spirit has/had assets that need to be liquidated, and that requires buyers. That's how the debtors get some of their money back. DAL is also potential buyer of assets, no surprise there.

Nice find! And it makes sense. Might even be some other loose ends out there. This all sounds and feels like "part of the process", and nothing more.

Can you lay off of him? I get you don’t like that he’s posting here as a retiree, but there was nothing wrong with his post. It looks like you’re attacking him for the sake of it at this point.
