One of my guys taxing in MSY just heard a Spirt jet return to the gate. Captain told ATC thanks for the help over the years. Sounds like they’re closing it down right now in real time. Hate this for everyone there. I’ve meet several Spirt pilots over the years and they were all good dudes. I hope you all land on your feet and very soon. Would love to fly with you guys!

This sucks. Wish it didn't have to end like this, always had a good experience on spirit both as a normal pax and as a commuter. Thanks spirit crews for being awesome.

$2.12/month for digital if you cancel and wait 3 hours.

And I was lucky to be home when EWA shut down. Crews were all over the world.

Sucks when it comes to this.

12% or 49 cancelled now. All red eyes appear to be cancelled. Make the walk because there’s commuters showing to plan b and c options just trying to get home.

Compass was a DAL only connection / express carrier.

As someone that has experienced an airline shut down i sincerely feel what you are all going through and it sucks!
t.y. For the jump seats I’ve ridden on and the great hospitality. I hope you all land on your feet and come to mother U and I hope to fly with
you all. So far my experience flying with the ex Spirit guys has been awesome.

Spirit Airlines’ time ran out Thursday evening.

In a 15-minute phone call, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Spirit Chief Executive Dave Davis agreed that the budget carrier had run out of options.

Davis, an industry executive picked to lead the embattled airline about a year ago, thanked Lutnick for his efforts leading the rescue talks, people familiar with the discussions said, and the Commerce secretary referred him to the Transportation Department for help winding down the Florida airline.

The brief conversation, as recounted by people familiar with the matter, marked the end to a weekslong saga featuring negotiations between members of President Trump’s inner circle, executives leading major U.S. airlines, and investment firms wrapped up in Spirit’s bankruptcy—and which could determine the airline’s fate.
