Or will the weakening economy just make it tougher for Spirit to survive?

As of now we probably will run out of cash by the end of the year.
I'm sure there's a legit answer to this, but it won't come from a pilot. Nobody posting here has any effing idea.

It might sound harsh but it feels like spirit operating as an independent operation hinges on the next 4-5 months.

I don’t say that trying to be a jerk or maliciously. I just genuinely don’t know how much more the creditors will be willing to put In VS a sale.

in the end of the day it’s all about $.

wishing the best for all my brothers and sisters in flight decks over the next year. Hopefully this is all a big nothing and consumers stay resilient. Time will tell.
A merger might be off the table at this point. Purchasing only our desireable assets at a steep discount without the debt, merger headaches, etc becomes more and more attractive the more money we lose, which is about $3 million a day.

There are no parts of spirit to pick apart, you’re just LARPing as someone you’re not on an anonymous forum. Next time read up on Spirit’s actual financials before posting BS

10 billion or so in assets, however, fully encumbered by the people that own our debt. That shouldn't be so difficult to understand.

If they liquidate, they will not get 10 billion though. That's obvious but judging by some of these responses I'm getting, clarification seemed necessary.

Go ahead and name them.

handful of airplanes
300-400M in purpose built real estate
One or two simulators?

So we presume that our new equity holders own the debt on those assets. They have how much invested at this point? Close to $3B? They sell all that stuff and get what? $1.5B and whatever cash? Seems like a money loser if you ask me.

I don’t see $10B in assets.

Halon told me not to over think it apparently Once the company stabilizes and returns to being publicly traded, the debt holders will likely cash out paving the way for a merger with Frontier

No idea how he’s even getting close to $10bil in assets lmfao. That’s some far fetched analysis

our genius resident analyst who was so successful he decided to join us here at spirit, also fails to realize that its enterprise value that comes into play when talking about liquidation. And creditors would get 20 cents on the dollar if they are lucky in that regard. TWA sold to AA for like 700 mil and they owned more than we do. They too realized just how disadvantageous liquidation is even compared to a crappy merger deal.
