Spirit Goes Bankrupt — Again

Just checking. Also, being able to tell from text alone if someone is serious or not is kind of difficult. That’s why we have emojis :wink:

Frontier is trying to push Spirit over the edge even more. Just a week after their announcement of 20 routes, they have again announced 22 routes. A lot of them don’t have overlap with Spirit, but some do and it’s still not good for Spirit to have more of the ULCC market share going to their biggest rival

That’s kind of crazy. Idk, but if an airline is going under, they should just go. It’s sad but Spirit is a failing airline
