Such a sad day. My heart felt condolences to all the Spirit employees. Spirit was always extremely hospitable to me when I would commute on them. Every employee I interacted with were class acts and I hope you all find a great new company to work for. I know we are hiring, and hope to work with many of you soon

There are a lot of things being said right now, and it’d be good if we can all make sure verifiable, credible information is being shared.

Thanks

came from an internal contact. Journal is confirming it as well

Not to be overly dramatic but anyone reading this who feels desperate and is considering doing something rash just know that in a few years you could very well look back on this and see it as a net positive. I’ve seen it a few times in life when a sudden event causes someone to look for options in places they never would have looked otherwise and it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to them.

Hang in there and reach out if needed.

I'm so sorry for all of you.
Thanks for the many commutes and leisure trips. You guys and gals took such good care of OAL jumpseaters on all sides. Quite a few times the gate agents would have a the form already filled out that I only needed to sign and be given a great seat right away, check in to a cool crew and the FAs went out of their way to take care of us. I hope everyone ends up in a good place.

I’m so sorry guys. My heart goes out to yall. Always treated me well before, during, and after my time there. Truly appreciate yall.

Try not to take this on yourself. Seek support/friend. This too shall pass.

Has anyone heard anything internally yet? Pretty crappy to make your employees have to hear everything from the media.

Truly best of wishes to all of the pilots at Spirit.

How many pilots are on the list right now? Curious to try to calculate how fast they will all get picked up.
