the worst kind of person in my opinion. Glad to see them go. Maybe their culture will fit better where they end up.

If I were an NK pilot I would find this reassuring... looks like they intend to operate an airline, at least long enough to sell it via M&A.

And this is probably the best window for M&A in this century.

I don't think 'many' is a fair sized brush to paint with as I know many former NK pilots who left reluctantly and none of the many that I've enountered wish ill on anyone outside of the corner offiices at the headquarters.

None of us with a decade invested in this career airline wanted to ever have to make the decision to leave. To say these pilots now wish for Spirits demise is unfounded. I want Spirit to succeed; it’s just a matter of some believing it’s better to ride it out and some believing it’s time to explore new opportunities

My comment was not intended to insinuate wanting spirit to fail or to be rude at all I have many friends opting to staying a spirit

I just think you may have been reading into things a little to much

best of luck
