absolutely this. I don’t get why it is so taboo to come onto APC and tell people to jump ship. Even I waited too long but it took people around me telling me to get out to finally make the jump. I’m happy again, it’s nice to live in a world where I don’t have to worry if i will have a job at the end of the day. Movement is crazy right now at AA/UA and we will find ourselves in the left seat again hopefully soon. Let NK go, it’s over. Although not as many as most left but 9 years was not easy to give up. Still glad I did. Outside super low time FOs who shouldn’t have been at spirit to begin with if the industry was not hiring record low time guys and girls for a time, if you wanna leave you can. These “good guys and gals” that are getting shut down in interviews come across arrogant. That’s the only reason they aren’t getting picked up. A lot of that comes from not just letting NK go. Accept reality, move on

Great post! Still lots of guys with the “not slinging gear for anybody” attitude. Everyone has a choice on what to do but I’m sure sleeping is better when the worry is gone. Flew with one guy that has financially overextended himself to show his AA friends that NK is just as good. He’s too broke to leave now.

I think it’s time for you to move on from the spirit forums and let NK go.

it’s hard to look away from a train going off the rails man…..especially with a post shoving it in everyone’s face that spirit made it into 2026. The confidence of the OP. I’m here for it. Also it would be a lie to say I don’t care completely. It’s gut wrenching what’s happing at spirit. I loved my time there. There is a level of arrogance from people still there who mocked those of us who left. Now it’s not looking good. Again I cant look away.

A level of arrogance from people still here? Go home, you're drunk.

Lol… what? I’ve certainly seen a severe lack of grace and humility from plenty of people on this forum but it has not been coming from those that are sticking it out for personal reasons (the two troll accounts don’t count). Anyways… happy to hear this has been entertaining for you. Enjoy the show.

Omg, I know right. So annoying for you that Spirit hasn’t liquidated. How frustrating that the OP had to rub that in your face.

Honestly, Good for you for moving on. You should feel good about it, you probably made the right decision. No need to root for their demise just to nurse a grievance

Yes so many people foaming at the mouth ready to shout I told you so to everyone still here. All so they feel validated in their choice to leave. It's quite disgusting honestly. It's like the longer it takes the hungrier they get.

It goes both ways…read the original post, calling people out by name, which is why we are here. Oh and also feeling validated they are still employed. Had people not been so militant about those of us moving on, no one would have cared. Again it goes both ways.

Outsider observation: the arrogance and mockery you speak of has been one-way traffic, and it isn't the Spirit peeps.

Sounds like you need to move on.

Stop looking in the rear view mirror. How long did it take you to stop visiting the regional forums when you came to spirit. You’ll we fine and the people at spirit will be fine. Get over it. Move on.

Not very observant… or honest. Will there be a post titled: BENDO WAS WRONG and a list of account names who said otherwise when NK closes. I doubt it.

Did you read the original post? It had everything to do with naming people that have come on here weekly shouting about spirits down fall. It had nothing to do with anyone leaving. No one and I do mean no one, cares about the people leaving and proving them wrong. Everyone and I do mean everyone is just thinking about how lucky we are to have made it another day/week and still employed.

​

Now get lost

Dishonest post. Plenty has been said about “purging” spirit how we will all regret our choices blah blah blah. Let’s not pretend one side is pure as the driven snow. Be honest with yourself here is a quote off the good things are coming our way. There are hundreds similar.

“We purged the ranks thanks to legacy’s flood gates opening. The only ones left are the best.”

Not a dishonest post I simply responded to you talking about the original post. I'm sorry I haven't read every single post. So in summary yes your post are disgusting and so are those taunting those that have choosen to leave. Glad we could sum that up.

“no one and I mean no one” well i guess that was dishonest and you just admitted it, I appriciate that. Quit clutching your pearls and actually read what people are saying.Both sides threw their stones.

Both sides threw stones. But you are one of the sides that is throwing stones while lambasting the other side for doing the exact same thing. The last few posts have just been pointing out your hypocrisy. You’re doing the exact thing you are complaining about.

I am one of the ones called out in OPs post. Just went through my last 500 posts. Not only was the vast majority not related to NK, these are AFAIK the only ones that mentioned NK not surviving:

Just having the opinion that NK will not survive is not the same as cheering for it. And I think the vast majority of ex-NK feels this way.

last 500? I would have stopped at 10 max. Who cares what other anonymous people think. 99% are just trying to rile others up.

absolutely you were listed on this post as a cheerleader for the downfall of NK. Nothing that you said was out of line. Now here we are as people weaponize empathy for a remaining pilot group that has in many cases mocked those of us who went to a legacy. Even gloating they survived through the year despite the reality. Any mention of getting apps out you are the bad guy.
Oh and dont say anything that the people who are staying don’t like because they are victims and immune to any criticism even though they continue to be militant.

It is fascinating to watch the allegory of the cave play out in modern times. We always think we’re living in the age of reason but humans are just the same as 2500 years ago.

It’s valiant to try and help but as you can see you will only be reviled for having left the cave and realizing the shadows are just that.

This original post is going to age like a fresh turd in the Fort Lauderdale sun.

Especially now that ALPA is begging the credit holders not to liquidate.

So Kirby was off by two weeks.....

Disregard ....

For the sake of others who may have the same question.

Not sure how privy ALPA is to merger talks or lack thereof, but if they are pleading for reorganization to continue I can’t imagine that’s a good sign.

Looking at lot like Kirby was right after all....

ACN says liquidation tomorrow, any truth to that?

they reported that based on the ALPA letter but the ALPA letter says nothing about that so I think they are speculating.

Well my bank usually shows a prepayment 2 business days prior to payday (15th) and it's not showing anything yet.

they are the TMZ of the sky they report wrong things them delete them later on

I don’t believe anything ACN says esp wit no source

keep us posted… 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Hope everything works out for you guys

Tick tock

🤷☠️

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

orange man tries to take Greenland you can watch bottom 20% to furlough overnight at every US airline. . International travel all over.

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.
