I agree with you. Rest assured you’re not the only person that cares.

I’ve loaded up big time. In fact many investors are. The fair market value of SAVE is over 50 clams according to Morningstar.com, a service that has gained me a wealth of economic decision-making knowledge.

I’m in probably too high and have been trying to lower my cost basis a little during the fall but at some point I have to say that’s enough money to throw at it.

Nor are you two alone in your nobility. I also don’t want to see our passengers screwed. I’m also human, and sometimes I just don’t want to do that Long Island turn. My heart ain’t going to break if it cancels and that’s not selfish. Ok maybe a little, but it’s a form of selfishness that has no manifestation on reality. The universe isn’t listening. It’s going to see poser doesn’t want to go then cancel the flight for me. If a flight cancels, it was going cancel whether I wanted out of it or not.

Jeez what are we even talking about?

Why are you buying stock in the company you work for??

Stupid I know. The good money on the sector was with delta.

Just out of curiosity (and enough laziness to not do my own research) what would a controlling interest in Spirit cost right now?

Is it feasible that Spirit could ever become an "employee-owned" publicly traded company?

Not knowing voting shares and all of that stuff...so to own 51% of the total stock...

68,440,000 shares / 2 = 34,220,000
34,220,000 is worth 1.32B
Show 7700 employees
So $172,000 per employee.

Remind the FA the next time she doesn’t pay for her coffee that she will need $172k for her share to buy in to Spirit. Or the CA who won’t break a buck off for the van driver.

I wouldn’t call you stupid, it’s your money... You are putting a lot of your eggs in one basket though. Again, your money, your choice.

DAL and LUV are probably better picks in this sector though. I previously owned DAL, bought during the Ebola scare low, sold at $55.xx over a year ago. It’s been bouncing around in the mid 50’s to low 60’s, so I’m content with that trade. Better places to make money now than the airline industry, imho.

Would anyone here, FOs in particular, leave here for Jetblue? Why or why not?
