Yes, yes and the Sun will turn into a giant star and make Earth uninhabitable in a few billion years. That is also a mathematical certainty. Hopefully by then multiple starships would be pointed to multiple different stars...

Thing is people/companies/entites etc can adapt and overcome and have effective contingency plans instead of running the same failing model and pinning all hopes on one single transaction with no realistic backup plan should plan A be blocked by a judge....

Well it certainly isn't the 90% off base fare sales that are already too low, like the marketing emails and deals that keep appearing....

Well, we’re still here!

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.

Its been very quiet from the Company since the public ALPA letter as well as the Citadel non-response. Even with only a $2M a day burn that $50M from last month is already gone. December financials should be out pretty soon.
