I stopped at the first sentence. It was NEVER wrapped in certainty, and they made that VERY clear during the roadshows. Nice revisionist history. The DOJ lawsuit was happening and nobody knew how that was going to shake out, but they had to proceed as if the merger was happening. Yes, if it failed we go right back to section 6, but NOBODY including yourself knew at the time the financial situation of Spirit wasn't going to turn around. So give it a rest already.

Exactly, they sold certainty and it bit them. Give it a rest? Why? There are those on the whatsapp chats still calling for an MEC recall. YOU however don't even work here anymore so you sir can give it a rest and **** off to the threads of the airline you actually work at.

I'm really hoping to stay at Spirit as a captain. My wife will leave me if I get displaced to first officer.

[Mod edit to add] Leaving this post up to let the masses see this poster has been banned for creating an alter ego troll account with a deceptive name.

Doesn't seem to stop them from giving themselves bonuses. Do they get a discount on fuel and gate slots because they aren't making money? The answer is no in case you are wondering.
Not your problem? Keep telling yourself that when the light is shut off....

If you get furloughed she may resort to only fans.

I would rather them shut the lights off getting paid an industry standard wage than dragging down the rest of my peers. But you wouldn't understand that, office boy.
