BTW this is the longest flame thread I’ve ever read. This OP went fishing and found an entire pack of jacks ready to feast on anything he throws in the water.

Why is P&W not paying for the pilots that can’t work? Why didn’t spirit put pressure on them?

right because we can’t hose the former shareholders if we are successful.

why is new spirit not making P&w pay for the pilots for the planes we can’t use? They can’t hose the current shareholders if we were busy and actually acting like an airline.
Iike the joker says, it’s all going according to the plan….

P&W would bankrupt Spirit . Those lawsuits take years . Spirit has neither time or money

Haha funny how any time anyone reports bad news at Spirit the cheerleaders instantly scream fake news. Somethings never change.

I’ve been enjoying it. The regular retards all fell for it too. Prefect gathering spot for them to dish out life advice. One retard has openly wondered where halon was; he’s at least 3 people in this thread including this threads creator. I’m just surprise SloFlo didn’t show up. I’ve started calling hospitals and jails.

Most don’t understand all this money Spirit is getting from Pratt is nothing more than in store credit.

Exactly. Crummy deal for sure. If we were any other airline they would bend over backwards.

RTX made 1.66 billion Q2. They are not hurting.

Agree 💯 , the only dudes that didn’t play FPL a$$ kissing game.

When Spirit bought the P&W engines they did not come with unlimited warranties. Airlines can purchase different levels of warranty on the engines. The big airlines always purchase almost every type of follow-on insurance they can to mitigate risk.

Spirit chose not to.

You can't pass on optional maintenance packages because you want to save costs and then when the product has problems, blame the manufacturer. P&W gave them a gift by offering them credits toward repairs and inspections in lieu of litigation but those credits cover only a fraction of the costs.
