Looks like butt is out of ORD anyways and onto LAS. Time to show off my flying skills to a new batch of FOs
At the very least people could have had a two month head start on their applications to get out of here. Also of note is that those bases reduced are not expected to grow again, ever.

Probably were under a NDA, same thing happens during negotiations. They need to know things that can’t get out in the open.

The same notes the OP was referencing. Also said is that they wanted to reduce ORD and DTW much more but when they saw how many people lived near there they held back for retention issues. The writing is on the wall, Spirit tried the northern bases experiment and didn't like it. I would put my money on both eventually closing.

The DFW CA and FO reps didn’t bail at the same time by coincidence.

He's staying. He realized how stupid it was to bail and give up all of that seniority, especially for AA, or so it's rumored.

I'd say call and ask if you're really concerned.

Eh, bases come and go, DTW has been around a long time. Such is life in the airline world wether you're at Delta or Spirit.

Cry, change your situation or live it. Good luck.
