Goodbye Spirit: A Final Group Flight

Goodbye Spirit: A Final Group Flight

Summary:
Spirit Airlines will be shutting down at the end of American market hours. In order to pay tribute to them, we will be taking the inaugural flight that Spirit Airlines ever took. As we take this last flight, I would like to invite you all to fly along with us. This is a way of saying goodbye, not only to an airline but also to the spirit of travel that Spirit Airlines has introduced into our lives.

I really hope we still get the Spirit livery for the neos. Sad day for U.S. aviation, I just hope that JetBlue and Frontier aren’t next.

That’s really sad to hear. Spirit had its own place in aviation. Count me in for the tribute.

Can we make it Spirit week or something :downcast_face_with_sweat:
