The official good news Spirit Thread
 
Can we please have a Thread that contains only good news?

Today is a new day and for the first time in a long time we have hope. Despite what people want you to think Spirit is actually a great place to work. We have some of the most talented and dedicated pilots in the industry. We want this place to survive. We love our (sometimes dysfunctional) airline. We finally have leadership and a board of directors that know what they are doing. If there wasn’t any chance of this place being viable or confidence in Dave Davis then the bond holders and board would have shut the place down.

[mod edit]

The official good news thread begins now FEB 25 2026………..

So what? This just seems like a jealousy post. People picking up premium time has no bearing on if the company brings back furloughed pilots or not. They’re shrinking the fleet, that’s why the furloughs. Only difference would be those flights would have been cancelled otherwise. The people who have stayed here actually want the airline to succeed. And that’s what it takes right now.

yeah I’m not jealous of what a spirit pilot is making.

Just calling out a team player that’s all. The pilots who where forced to leave appreciate you and all of your suffering and sacrifice.

Is the good news that management will be meeting with union partners or that overpaid law groups are comparing pay and benefits to "industry peers" or another law group is analyzing cba's to meet the new labor strategy while planning for additional labor negotiations? Don't think this is going anywhere good

Time to give back that first bite of the apple, we simply can't afford industry-standard pay. 🙄

Exiting bankruptcy was supposed to include snapbacks and equity correct?
