correct.......

Good source?

Ted’s email made that appear to be the case. But as I have said before, I don’t think they will give Spirit a pass on our requests. I’d say we are SOL on this

requests got denied. the other Florida airline, JetBlue, also got denied.

Except the food court is closed.

Who’s in: Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, United Airlines, SkyWest Airlines and Southwest Airlines. Other carriers, including Spirit Airlines, are still working out the details but plan to take advantage of the grants as well.

Another article listed who took
it and how much each agreed to. Spirit is not listed as one of the carriers to take the deal

Mnuchin said Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, United Airlines, SkyWest Airlines and Southwest Airlines had all agreed to participate. Congress created the program with up to $29 billion in grants for airlines to use for paying employees, plus $3 billion for contractors, through the CARES Act in March.

If Ted couldn't get the deal he needs, then I don't blame him for not agreeing to the politicians terms. Forced to lose millons upon millions by operating flights that passengers are being told (by politicians) to not be on seems like a self inflicted mortal wound.

You all took it. Welcome to the real world. No special treatment. Maybe Spirit won’t jump on over saturated routes and ruin the market in the future. It’s what happens when you overlap routes that are already over saturated.

Enjoy your bankruptcy.

More like “that’s what happens when you have a massive pandemic that shuts down an industry and you overlap routes.” Seriously like they should have predicted this? GTF outta here.
