As much as I rarely want Kirby to be wrong in general (I’m with United), I have been hoping in this case, since this thread title first started; that he would be. I don’t know what the future holds for you all but like the vast majority (most of whom are not on this site), I hope it is just a bump along the road for your careers and that an opportunity presents itself for all of you sooner rather than later should one be needed. We all, at one point in our lives; stood on the outside of that chain linked fence dreaming of flying. Whatever happens don’t let it define you or sideline your dreams to fly for a living if indeed that is your continued goal. You are all in my thoughts.

Spirit Executives are all in Colorado Big meeting tomorrow with Frontier

If that’s true, it’s before they meet with govt. Trump admin provides liquidity to cover some of spirit’s losses while frontier completes the purchase? Cash is either paid back on long term loan, or maybe equity is given to government in combined company. Government also gets a big ULCC to keep airfare low and prevents job loss.

Like back in January? lol

Haha I saw that too. Looks like he trolls a bit

No they are not. Frontier isn't riding in to save the day for you. Should have gotten out while you could. Stop spreading rumors and false hope to the gullible and desperate.

Spirit's dead. Over. Done for and gone.

Just for reference, this guy said Spirit was shutting down this past January, December, September, August, July, and May. I am sure he will be right one of these days. Though to be fair if I had to leave Spirit for GoJet I'd be bitter too.

Seriously doubt Bill Franke would give equity to the government just to get Spirit.

SWA guy here. Ive been following all of this and hoping for the best for all affected. I have jump seated and bought tickets for the fam many times with Spirit and we’ve always been treated with the industry perks. Great employee group and I have many friends who work with you. I wish you guys nothing but the best and hope everything turns around for you. See you out there gents

Frontier buying Spirit is a quick way to run Frontier into BK too. Frontier is trying to keep their own house in order. Also, don’t think government will bail out NK because there is no business plan and the government can’t show favoritism to one airline over the others.
