I think it actually even might be clever with a “K” to be more trendy.

Klever Air

So when we go to a full service airline we are also going to be getting rid of the name Spirit (it’s been tarnished) I believe the short list for the new name of the airline are Clever Airlines, Voyage Air Lines (Delta way to spell Airline…makes it extra gravitas), or Harmony Airways. We will get rid of the loud yellow color and have proper uniforms for all employees.

but going back to what I said in the beginning this is in the mean time while we wait for another merger. Spirit was never meant to be around for the long haul. Signs in the industry point to Southwest or Frontier again. (And before you ask, both airlines would be an actual Merger and NOT an acquisition)


Rebranding an airline takes time and money. We have neither.

You guys just witnessed the first step of Spirit Airlines abandoning the ULCC model with Ted’s email last night.

Next we will start to announce things like free Cary on bags/food and drinks. Increase in ticket prices.

Then, debt will be spread out of the next few years so we can be solvent.

it’s happening guys #KleverAir #SouthwestMerger #UnitedMerger? #ThisOnesForYou #TheWheelsAreTurning #RIP_Pebbles

Eliminating all cancel/change fees. Seems like something is happening.

Frontier and Spirit announced cancel/change fees going away on the same day?

So if you find a market wherein Spirit /Frontier fly twice or more in one day you are now able to freely change to other flight same day as long as there are scenes.

WN doing a merger you say? 🤔. If I was a betting man I would say acquisition is a more likely scenario and I give even that long odds.
