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.

Hope Frontier’s watching.

If Spirit is Waffle House, Frontier is Sizzler.
