I agree that was the biggest take away. Also, reading between the lines, absent a astronomical recovery in demand, furloughs will be announced around Oct 1.

As others have said recently, you are a miserable dude. What happened? Dog died? Wife leave you?

I took it as we are holding our own and want to be in a position to grab market share and other opportunities if demand comes back. Obviously if demand doesn’t start to come back after 6 months or so they will have to look at other options. Some people just see the negative though.

Apple is a hardware company, they don't want **** to be cross platform compatible. Then you would be able to use their software on hardware that is outside of their walled garden. I like Apple products, but they've created a world of people who can't function technically beyond a product that starts without the letter i.

They do privacy right though, since their profit comes from hardware sales. Instead of giving free software in exchange for your data. And their hardware lasts a long time. But they really have created a generation of tech idiots.

All I did was AirDrop the link from the company iPad to my Macbook and started watching. It took longer to pour the whiskey.

Did you listen to the presentation? There was a lot of CEO speak. Other than the beard. Grant money=no furloughs. Past Sept 30 is still in the air. We're pushing back airframe deliveries. We're cancelling WiFi, cabin interiors, FTD's, laid off airport crew, possibly cancelling BNA, possible cancelling new OCC, but yes, let me tell you how rosy it is and how Spirit will keep paying pilots with 10% of our passenger demand. The airline, hell the industry, is in survival mode. Grant money buys time to try to figure out the who, what, when, and where. If we get a positive response from treasure then we have paychecks until Sept 30. Past that a lot few of us will have paychecks as we adjust to the new reality.

I think the problem was getting a link in an email that says watch the livestream here at 6/5 central and then clicking the link at 6/5 central and finding out that no, just clicking the link will not bring up the stream. It took only a few minutes to get it straightened out but it caused myself a quite a few others to miss out on whatever it was we missed out on.

Furloughs absolutely could happen. Odds are unfortunately they probably will. However, me saying you are miserable, was more an observation of your posting history. I'm not saying you're a bad dude, I don't know you. Just saying you post a lot of negative stuff.

This aggression will not stand man!

I figured we where waiting for exemptions to come through before any real news except pushing back airframes and cancelling new OCC. I hope we are in position to capitalize on the Legacy shrinkage at the end of this. I missed the townhall because i was working on my app to McDonalds. Double dip lol :)

So they said we are:

pushing back deliveries?
not moving OCC from Miramar to Nashville?
we are cancelling wifi altogether?
no more interior refresh on current planes?
cancelling construction of new HQ in FLL?
