I doubt it'd be a merger. With the VX 'sale' (B6 and AS bidding) the news media got a whiff and we all knew something was going down about 1 week before it got really serious and the deal closed. With nothing like that in the news for Spirit, it most likely isn't a merger/acquisition. Four ours, the CEO sent an internal email saying that we don't acknowledge any news media reports and we have no information for any potential sale, which of course meant the ink was already dried on the paperwork and the deal was done.



Good luck to you guys tomorrow, sounds like it's good news whatever it is. C Series is my guess.

Yes, and there very well may be something tomorrow but what the guy posted is nowhere to be found. Company email, spirit facebook, google. Nowhere.

This stuff's floating around on WhatsApp. The FB page does say announcement is tomorrow. They've been teasing a BIG announcement all week.

Same. This was sent company-wide.

What is it with you? Before the TA you were talking about how the LTD and scope were not worth taking the risk in turning it down. Now you spew this garbage? Take a break dude, you’re out of your mind, you got what you wanted and what you voted for.

You’re right I did say that when the bullet points came out. Not after the actual language was released. It’s our contract and my vote doesn’t matter sir. You’re incorrect btw
