Is there any words of encouragement to say during these trying times?

Yes!

A recent unnamed executive, Christine Richards, received her 5000 shares right on time!

Let us celebrate!

I'm in the same boat so I preemptively bought tickets on WN. There's a connection involved as opposed to Spirit's direct but if the Spirit flight doesn't cancel, WN will let you cancel up to 10 minutes prior to departure for a full refund with their anytime fare.

update those logbooks

As others have mentioned this won’t end up a big deal for Spirit. A year from now and a few 9 dollar ticket sales and all will be forgiven. Where it may have a impact on low cost airlines is new rules that come out of this. They may be required under law to rebook passengers on other airlines and provide hotels. This would be a significant cost item for airlines that don’t already do this as a matter of policy and because it’s the right thing to do.

I think it's absurd that we don't have any other interline agreements...

You don’t actually need inter line agreements. SWA I have watched on several occasions move large blocks of passengers over to other airlines after a flight cancelation. The pick up the phone or walk over to other airlines and block the needed seats. They walk a check over to pay for the seats.

I’ve seen Spirit do that before. They aren’t against doing it. Problem is how do you rebook a canceled flight of 180 passengers on other airlines when those airlines are fully booked as well.

Preemptive cancelations are down today vs previous days. Hopefully they get it straight over the weekend

CEO finally came out with a statement yesterday. Stranded pilots caused by initial IROPS had a domino effect as nobody was in position to work flights. Combined with gate agents/ground personnel walking off the job due to the fact that flying customers are just the worst these days. Not worth it for that money. Said it will take another week to fully recover.
