it's said "could" didn't say it was going to. Could be a spirit exec leaking this info to keep them going or looking for a partner for another week.

The country is already trillions of dollars in debt. What’s the harm in throwing away $500 million. Kind of ironic from the guy who claimed to be against st government waste. I guess DOGE only applies to political opponents.

that "could" statement sure got a political spin pretty quick.
Is it good if it happens because it saves jobs for a while or bad because Trump did it, or bad because it goes against DODGE?
Im not sure what im supposed to think unless someoen tells me

Well ladies and gentleman my job here is done.

A heart felt thank you to all the Spirit team members for not giving up hope. The next year is going to get interesting.

Phase 1 bailout and exit bankruptcy
Phase 2 break even Q4
Phase 3 take first new delivery and go public “again”
Phase 4 accept acquisition from (confidential) government gets their investment back.

Live happily ever after longevity intact.

P.S. save every drop of fuel you possibly can. Seriously every drop. SE taxi, OPT ALT, short cuts, idle DES, Flap3 and APU off.

Signing off,

The calm Captain

This is a phenomenal level of trolling and I'm here for it.

What a waste of gov $, why would they want equity in this poorly run and managed company?

Then how about all government employees use Spirit for official travel as well? New base is DCA or IAD.
