our Spirit Stock just dipped to an incredibly low number this morning.

I just placed an order for $5,000 worth of Spirit stock. Tell me I’m stupid!


There are way more entertaining ways to **** $5,000 away.

I mean if they pull it out of their ass, you might make some money off it. Or, just stuff it down a hooker’s g string.

Wow, Ted didn’t hold back taking swings at the government and Spirit shareholders in his opening remarks!

So I’ve been talking with a lot of Captains out there on the line and none of them are applying elsewhere or concerned about their jobs. You guys are going to be in for a rude awakening and scrambling for a job soon.

it is pretty clear we have no path forward (that will work). everybody keeps saying we will be fine. you guys are delusional.

This is the same exact thing Braniff was doing their final days. They were trying all different kinds of marketing tricks, and nothing worked.

Spirit doesn’t have a stand alone plan bc that’s never been the plan. This airline was set up to be flipped from the beginning of being IPOed. You don’t CEO an account unless you are getting numbers right for a sale. This company will be sold one way or another, long term stand alone is not an option anyone serious is considering.

He went back to the playbook of blaming weather and Florida ATC for the lack of profitability. Ted needs to resign. He’s not the man for the job.

Don't forget Haiti unrest as a reason for Q1 challenges.

I agree. However I have talked with many quite senior captains that are leaving. Many many more “considering”.

Weather and FL ATC are not going to change. What are they doing? Doubling down on FL. When are they going to figure out ULCC is a dead model. Massive changes need to happen one way or another

YEP! Now we get to see if it’s sold all as one or for parts
