I’m so proud of this “down with the ship” pilot group. 2026 is going to be a great year for us!

Below is the list of the relentless “Spirit is liquidating by the end of 2025” cheerleaders.

Sorry guys, you were wrong.

I said by May fwiw.

Frontier is next, AA and JB to chapter 11.

Sucks. I'm really sorry fellas. I'm in no way happy to be correct, but the global economy is in freefall. It's math.

Honestly we are a global conflict away from the entire industry going tits up . Imagine what is occurring in VZ and Ukraine but more widespread with jamming and war. Think Covid times but without the government shoving $$ in your pockets while you sit at home.

Not saying it’s gonna happen, but the possibility is there for sure.

“I know the ULCC business model no longer works in the US because I’m really good at math.” -Scott Kirby

Looks like Mr Kirby was right all along. The $50 Million Christmas Miracle trenche of DIP Financing is the only reason this thread even exists. Sounds like the January 15th payment isn’t going through. Game Over for us. I’ll see you standing in the lines at the next round of Job Fairs Mr Calm Captain.

Always a possibility for that sort of thing, but it's not any more likely now than any other time. Little regional brushfires don't matter. We're not going to war with RU. China would be an issue, big mess west of HI and would likely spill over a little bit to other regions.

Looks like acn pulled the post for some reason.

Spirit was supposed to close down in December and it was all over the news. I just checked my bank account after all this fear. I got paid, its showing "pending" currently. Spirit may or may not close down, all I say is "believe it when you see it". Until its official, dont believe the BS on APC

Easy on the TDS, that's not happening, no senior military officer would obey such an order, to seize territory from a NATO ally :rolleyes:

The smack talk is apparently for the benefit of Denmark, to indicate serious intent, and also for RU to indicate that we are willing to change the status quo.

There are actually several good strategic reasons to either acquire Greenland, or ink some kind of long-term arrangement to allow the US essentially unlimited access for military purposes. Mostly having to do with countering/containing RU. It's strategic potential vastly outweighs the impact on it's tiny population which wouldn't even amount to a small city in the US. We might get their cooperation by simply paying them all bonuses if it comes to that.

The way this has been broached is typical uncivil hyperbole, but the actual concept isn't unreasonable nor is it the first time the US has considered this. Why now again? Melting ice and opening northern sea lanes.
