It was spot on, you're analysis was not. Keep it up buddy, someday you may catch up to AI. Let me guess, you were one of those people that automatically discounted Wiki too.

if the industry as a whole is letting go, I can see that. Not when they aren’t getting their jobs back. Not the same boat.

while I agree that we are our own worst enemies, gotta watch out for number 1. Just like I will vote no for a concession. Not going to make a difference. Especially since C suite getting fat bonuses.

Default Ouch.

Spirit Airlines filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time on August 29, 2025, less than six months after emerging from its previous restructuring. On the same day, the company entered into retention agreements with its named executive officers, awarding a total of $6.317 million in retention bonuses to incentivize them to remain during the restructuring process. The specific amounts are as follows:

• David Davis (President & CEO): $2,918,000

• Frederick S. Cromer (EVP & CFO): $1,185,000

• Thomas Canfield (EVP & General Counsel): $1,082,000

• John Bendoraitis (EVP & COO): $1,132,000

These bonuses are repayable if the executives leave before certain milestones, such as one year from the agreement date or 90 days after emerging from bankruptcy, unless terminated without cause or for other qualifying reasons.

As they have for every year for four years now. Take solace in the fact that everyone is where they have chosen to be and have been able to make well informed choices, and even if the gamble comes up snake eyes the industry is hiring strong.

Now’s the time to single engine taxi, no apu and help the company stay afloat. No time to play with our future. Save fuel and let’s show the spirit we all have.

Seriously, what's next...... do you people also need to argue about how to wipe your a$$... is it up-down, down-up, or the fire hydrant style bidet? 🤦🏻‍♂️
and the majority of these guys aren't even spirit pilots. I dont even work for spirit but have been keeping tabs ans I have friends who work there and want to see them succeed and this astonishes me how obtuse others are.

absolutely untrue. hopefully you are not part of the pilot group because if you are I feel pity on you being that out of touch.

visit with some of our FO’s who got rejected from legacies for not enough time and rejected from regionals for too much time. Then rejected from classier part 135 because they are Arline guys. Guys have had apps out for years and nothing. All working under reserve rules that really inhibit any extra flying so they just keep getting stuck deeper and deeper and more and more depressed sitting in a crash pad day after day.

moral with the bottom part of the pilot group is generally in the dumps.

we as crew members never do such thing. We put our faces and try to make our passengers happier . We are the last chance to make it right, but I digress, we are in a serious position and we as a family need to help the company. 10 years is a lot of seniority to let go. Not going to start over at a legacy.

You’re REALLY bad at this. Perhaps get together with Halon for some advice on successful and believable trolling because what you put out is utterly laughable.
