I would call out sick or walk away right now--who knows what kinds of things are happening behind the scenes, what kinds of safety-related costs are being cut now that the end game is here.

If this was true the FAA would have pulled Spirit’s certificate already. Airlines aren’t allowed to slowly wind down at a future date for the obvious safety concerns involved in that. They just cease to exist all of the sudden.
My guess is this article was planted by a specific party in negotiations to apply pressure…again. We’ve seen that multiple times throughout this process. Even last week Spirit’s own attorney testified in court that Spirit would run out of cash by today if the government didn’t bail them out. |

Yes, amazing to hear about guys who want to "fly the last flight" or finish their trips

Well, it looks like most mainstream media agrees with the WSJ:
https://www.theguardian.com/business...er-failed-deal https://www.detroitnews.com/story/tr...e/89890590007/ https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/b...ting-down.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/suzanne...s-reports-say/ https://www.fox32chicago.com/news/sp...lines-shutdown https://www.independent.co.uk/us/mon...-b2969020.html https://www.reuters.com/business/spi...ts-2026-05-01/ https://www.barrons.com/articles/spi...ilout-d0a826e2 WSJ said it was an "exclusive", which means they have some inside track info, not public stuff. But WSJ would not risk their reputation to lean into making a big call based on half-baked info. They value that way more than scooping everybody else on a story about a small airline. |

That’s simply not true. Compass and Trans States shut down over about a 3 week period.

Spirit never gave a rats a$$ about its pilots. Not many companies do. Loyalty isn’t a thing in this industry. If I was still there I’d be finding the quickest way home from my trip.

Anyone thinking that the Trump administration was going to actually go through with this ridiculous promise needs to have their head examined. Would love to see who the stock market winners were on this one. Nothing but stock manipulation for a couple of weeks. Just watched our "Dear Leader" at 12:55 EDT basically walk back his promise to help as only he can do. Total con and BS.
