"The airline's headquarters are now in Fort Lauderdale, Fla."

Florida again....suprize, suprize!

"I feel sorry for the good people -- the good workers," the mechanic said. "They work for money. Everybody works for money and to put food on the table."

They were illegals you idiot...even if it turns out they DON'T have ties to Abu Sayef (unlikely)...if they are such "good people" why didn't they go through proper legal channels like "good people" WHO ARE HONEST do???

(And were those "mechanics licenses" valid or FORGED??)

"(And were those "mechanics licenses" valid or FORGED??)"

"Bennett said that while all employees had provided the company documentation, such as driver's licenses, passports and mechanic's licenses, the investigation apparently revealed that some of the documents were fraudulent."

According to Nevergore in post #17, he doesn't believe the "mechanics" could be illegal. However, nothing would surprise me anymore.

Florida again....suprize, suprize!

Not just Florida, but Spirit Airlines is based in Miramar, in Broward County. (Home of Jose Padilla, Mr. Hassoun of Benevolence Internatioanl Foundation/Al Quaeda links fame, the Muslim who was arrested last week for threatening to kill the President, and assorted other terrorists).

It was reported on Thursday that Spirit Airlines has asked for $60 million in federal loan guarantees as part of the $10 billion program set up to help airlines after Sept. 11.

I guess they need more money to hire illegals with links to Al Quaeda -- plenty of those in both Fort Worth and South Florida.
