arresting 28 workers on immigration violations ... the Fort Worth facility, which employs more than 100 workers

So, between 1/4 and 1/3 of Spirit's Ft. Worth employees are illegal aliens who produced forged documents and lied on job applications? And the company was naive to this?

Spirit appears to be complicit in immigration violations, and it is exactly this "wink wink nod" conspiring that lies at the root of Enron, Worldcom, Andersen, and Xerox.

Egregious violations of immigration law create an atmosphere of general lawlessness.

I'll support the ethics of GWB and Ashcroft only when the officers of companies such as Spirit are charged and prosecuted for this complicity.

Spirit Airlines, the largest privately held airline in the country, started as a Detroit charter company 12 years ago. Today, it is a passenger line with 28 McDonnell Douglas MD-80 planes and makes 100 flights a day to 15 destinations across the United States and to the Caribbean.

The airline's headquarters are now in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. Its planes undergo repair, modifications and painting at the Fort Worth facility, which employs more than 100 workers, said Laura Bennett, a Spirit Airlines spokeswoman.

The airline does not operate commercial flights in or out of Meacham Airport, she said.

sounds like quite an enterprise.
