wiki excerpt——In 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Spirit Airlines received $334 million tax dollars in the form of grants and loans via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES).

The money was used to fund employees until September 30. In July 2020, the company announced that it would put 20–30% of its employees on leave of absence in October.

In August, some pilots and flight attendants agreed to take a voluntary leave of absence or have their work schedule temporarily reduced to avoid layoffs.

In July 2020, a passenger died of COVID-19 on a Spirit Airlines flight. Spirit Airlines claimed it notified the Centers for Disease Control but there was no record of the contact. Passengers on the flight were not informed that they were around an infected individual.

There are a lot of youtube videos with drunk or high passengers flipping out that they weren’t allowed to board. The airline almost invariably is spirit.

Spirit Airlines sucks, and the LCCs in general are having structural issues anyway.

The best way to be a millionaire airline owner is to start out with 10 million...

So, Spirit Airlines sounds like some kind of flying Waffle House.

Spirit Airlines’ primary purpose is to keep the riff-raff off Greyhound.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving airline.
