The website is down now. Redirects here. All flights are cancelled.

If anyone is stuck out on the road - see this thread.

Sorry everyone. This sucks. I remember flying into Midway the day ATA shut down and talking to a crew trying to get home as I was collecting my stuff before going to work at Mesa.

Sad day indeed.

I left back in February for AA, 6 weeks shy of 9 years as one of ā€œNed’s Kidsā€. Spirit was a fantastic place to work. I always said it was the best kept secret in Aviation. The work rules were spectacular and offered QOL that is unmatched at most other airlines especially on the junior end of the spectrum.

Unfortunately Spirit didn’t make it. Those almost 9 years were the best of my professional life. Thank you to Spirit for giving me the opportunity to break into the 121 world back in 2017. I wouldn’t be where I am today without that opportunity.

I hope all of Spirits crew members can land on their feet as quickly as possible. If there is any way I can help please reach out.

I remember I floated the • out of my landing in MSY, then you dragged me out on an old wooden coaster and I almost broke my back. Still see a chiropractor to this day. I blame the coaster, not my garbage landing.
 
If anyone needs anything I’m here. I know that’s been stated by everyone, but I truly mean it. Help with getting on your feet, Text, call, message, social media whatever. I know I don’t know a lot of you personally, but been around here a long time to know screennames! Godspeed and good luck brothers and sisters! Better days ahead…
 
Big picture. Should anybody be able to fly anywhere for under $150-$200?

In the days of regulation, airlines had to demonstrate that a route was profitable and sustainable at a certain rate.

Heck, I just paid $150 for a temendous bus ride from Nashville to Memphis.

Hats off for VonLane.

It’s cheaper or equal to fly from JFK to FLL than take an uber from JFK to Manhattan. (Or Jersey)

It’s about 1/2 the price to fly from JFK to FLL to take the Brightline from FLL to MCO.

6 people at Olive Garden - it’s a special night- 3 are asking the other 3 to go ā€˜steady’ - is more expensive than a single ticket from JFK to FLL.
 
Last reported was 3674 pilots.

I didn’t follow it close enough. Who shut down the merger with Blue a while back?
 
Southwest gets a lot of crap from people, but that was a solid move. Showing that heart
hey… Even though they didn't want me, I have tons of respect for wn. They're overall a good bunch, and most of the crap they get is shade thrown from people who have no business doing so.

I feel lucky that I got a chance to interview there twice.
