Proof? Couldn't find it on the article!
The ailing budget airline had been hoping to finalize a $500 million lifeline from the government before running out of cash. The discount carrier hasn’t been able to get sufficient support between certain bondholders and the government to secure the funding to keep it in business, people familiar with the matter said. Spirit is currently expected to cease operations around 3 a.m. ET Saturday. Spirit had been in talks with the Trump administration about a deal that would have provided a cash infusion in exchange for warrants that could convert into a stake of up to 90% of the company." |

ALPA is working with carriers to maintain ZED fares and potentially non-CASS flow back for at least a week

Good luck Spirit peeps. I'm sorry it ended this way and that y'all find work post Spirit quickly.

I truly feel for those in that workgroup. I've caught jumpseat rides on your aircraft a handful of times and the crews were nothing but professional and extremely courteous. This industry is such a pain in the ass.
