Big time HIDING going on here.
Either unions, or govt mandates.
No truth yet.
Not how you gain repeat customers.
I’m still confused why Spirit doesn’t serve Colt 45 beer and Kool brand cigarettes to their high mileage fliers.
I wonder what the minority status of the employees for Spirit is? That may be a tell.
Jet Blue is doing similar cancellations.
Is this due to those reported shortages of jet fuel? Eco airlines probably don’t have long term contracts.
We paid for reservations long before flight date.spirit never even bothered to call jr leave a message they were cancelling all flights. We were left stranded with our baggage at their closed airport gate. Nobody to even help us. A neighboring gate’s airline crew took pity on us abd the other jilted spirit patrons stick there — and offered to help find alternate flights for us. They found us one on a third airline but it cost us because they said spirit doesn’t pay forward or refund any collected ticket prices. Spirit never did refund us or even return our calls or answer our letters. We will never ever again consider spirit. How they are permitted to remain in business is a mystery. They appear to be a total scam
Staffing has been a big problem since this COVID scam-demic; the media doesn’t know any more than anyone else about the problem. All they can do is throw out innuendo’s to see what sticks.
The Hill has reached out to Spirit Airlines for comment.
Well, I can say first hand that Spirit cancelled a flight from New Orleans to Chicago on Monday, but it was due to weather because of a big storm. I know this because I was on a later flight with another airline that wasn’t cancelled but I talked to some of the people on the Spirit flight who were stuck in the airport.
We are flying to Brussels in September. The flight is advertised for 30 Euros each way. If you want to bring a suitcase and choose a seat it goes up to 130 Euros.
Sound like ransom ware that the Xiden Usurpation has declared a hands off attitude toward.
Can’t help thinking that there’s a Hunter connection.
I have family members who were impacted by this so a little research turned up that passengers were claiming that the pilots all walked off the job. My own relative said that after she sat around waiting for 7 hours looking at the plane but not being allowed to board the crew got off - no pilots among them - and the flight was cancelled. Spirit insists there is no issue with pilots but I have to wonder.
I flew on Spirit exactly once - out of Vegas on short notice. From the experience, I assume they do most of their marketing in trailer parks.
I would say - fuel.
Either they can’t find any or they can’t afford any.
This is an interesting web page which leads me to think Spirit Airlines may be in a death spiral.

Hope the pilots and flight crews are okay.
Has Spirit mandated shots, for those folks?
I’m glad to see Spirit Airlines is doing what they can to stem globull warming. Or, racism. Or, something.
Maybe they ran out of sky?
They ran out of duct tape.
