why TF would I give up my income so someone else could have it? I didn’t spend years and countless nights in a hotel to donate the fruits of my labor to someone else. Freaking sheep…

yeah you’re not wrong but you’re over selling it. Yes nobody leaves a legacy for spirit, what a profound revelation… crazy to think I had to “settle” for being an AB CA in my 20’s. How will I ever rebuild… thank god you came along to show us the light and the error of our ways.

I guess the same way I will have to rebuild if this place goes under— by nuking my 401k and praying to god I can get on somewhere before the bank takes my house.

Yeah I’m an idiot for staying as long as I have. It’s just really started to hit me this week how much hiring I’ve let slip away. I’d rather be at a United right now with 5,000 below me than be at Spirit who’s headed to another bankruptcy In afraid.

I was a Spirit Captain in my 20s to. I just realized it didn’t mean much if the airline didn’t make it to my 65th birthday.

You can’t live in the past. All you can do is keep moving forward.

Jesus. How over leveraged are you? Time to tell the kid to take some student loans out.

4 kids, 1 headed to college, 2 in highschool, one in her last year of middle school. Only debt I have is the house. Cars are paid off, no credit cards. But it still takes the better part of $25,000-$30,000 a month to run our house with all the sports my kids play. If this place folds, I’ll burn almost $400,000 if it takes me a year to start getting decent paychecks somewhere else.

Well good luck. Your finances your business.
But personally I’m halting travel ball for the kids before I drain my 401k or think of house foreclosure. Needing $360k net a year to run the house, as a middle seniority Spirit CA is a house of cards. Those numbers are senior 777 numbers. That’s over $600k annual gross. Honestly best of luck.

thanks man, I for sure will do that. But what a fun conversation to have with two highschoolers and a middle schooler…..hey I know sports is everything to you guys, and you guys are good enough to get some D1 Scholarships in Volleyball and Baseball, but all your club sports, personal coaching, and camps need to end because daddy chose to put his entire faith in this POS Ultra Low Cost Carrier. That should go over well for our relationships. They already struggle after their mother and I divorced during Covid.
