definitely no rumor to it - lots of people were let go yesterday and today. Hopefully they’re able to find other jobs soon.

Holy damn. Any idea how many people that translates to? Spirit is already a bare bones operation so this may mean a few remaining people trying to carry a heavy workload.
Maybe I'll need to block additional time for a response when I email crew pay, etc.

Doing it this way, they probably don’t have to pay any kind of severance package saving them millions. If they were to wait until after exiting bankruptcy/merger they’d probably have to pay out. We in bankruptcy, F off and no severance, byeee. Hardcore.

Well sadly, my thoughts exactly. I wondered if there was any “exemption” to wrongful termination or anything like that if done while in bankruptcy. Much easier to say “we were struggling and needing to operate with a barebones operation to help the company with cost savings, so cuts were necessary”. Once out of BK, it would seem to be harder to
make this claim.

this stuff will all be outsourced
sim sessions with be a hodge-podge of 75 year old retired Airbus pilots from 10 different airlines, all earning $75k to "make a difference using your valued experience"
we know the type. they start every sim session with "well, lets see if today is any better than yesterday"
