I’m noticing a distinct trend of the people I fly with. People are starting to worry more about the company’s long term viability than about the contract. Reality eventually hits.
Come on man, I’ve heard that excuse sense 1995!! Guess what, we are still here. 😂

Doesn’t mean we aren’t aggressively circling the drain of nonexistent.

Haven’t seen any factual data indicating we’re circling the drain come from you.. just complaining. Spell it out or pipe down, whining isn’t helping anybody

So, there IS data that suggests we're consistently losing lately (unprofitable). It is no where near aggressive or would I consider it "circling the drain."

2025 - Q2 loss of $70M
2025 - Q1 loss of $43M
2024 - Q4 gain of $54M
2024 - Q3 gain of $26M
2024 - Q2 gain of $31M
2024 - Q1 loss of $26M

While many other airlines did much better (as we already know). Frontier Holdings has over $500M in cash on hand.

That cash in hand number used to be quite a bit bigger. Biffle will undoubtedly mishandle Spirit for the um-teenth time in the coming months and we will be in an awful position with no ability to grow.

we MADE money last year. We had a profitable year in 2024. So then, what is the way to properly handle Spirit?

they also said they have access to committed financing that will add 300M to their current 700M of liquidity. We’ll be sitting at 1B liquidity total by year end, with the largest ULCC in the US facing a fierce PR battle and (unfortunately) may not make it if they continue down this current path. Read a book man, touch some grass, let’s allow people who are facing worse situations to vent, we’ve got it good for now.

Perhaps you didn't understand my post. I'm suggesting that the F9 is not in that bad of shape...
