Is there any hope for Spirit?

I have no idea how far this thing is going to fall.

"Spirit Airlines could shut down as soon as Saturday"

Not even a ghost of a chance.

Thought I saw a tweet earlier with Trump saying he would be announcing something regarding Spirit this afternoon 
Better not bail them out. The Biden admin fricked up by blocking their merger with Jet Blue a few years back.

Wasn’t there some scammer saying he was gonna buy them and base them out of MSY?

I was charged for deep breaths when I flew Spirit. Shallow breaths, thankfully, were included in the price.
My hope for Spirit ended then.

They’re horribly mismanaged and deserve to fail
Breeze is low cost and they manage to succeed
Hearing trump try to make a case for a government bailout is incredibly disappointing. No way the government should serve as a backstop for poorly run business.
Bailing out failures with tax payer money is liberal nonsense and the fact that he has already done it with US steel and Intel is beyond disappointing
I didn’t vote for that

If Carvana can do it Spirit can.

Airline companies are historically one of the worst investments anyone can make.
Richard Branson said, “I can tell you how to become a millionaire. Be a billionaire, and then buy an airline. In a short time, you will be a millionaire.”
Warren Buffett said if Wilbur and Orville would have shot each other, it would have spared a great deal of capital.

Supposedly the last flight to land was going to be in New Orleans.
I’m sure are there airlines will be happy to scoop in and by their fleet at a discount.

Spirit has already sold off most of the airplanes it owned. Most of their airplanes were leased. Mostly Airbus a320s limits their appeal since most of the other discount airlines are Boeing 737 only

The problem is you can’t build any lasting competitive advantage and thus are always in a commodified race to the bottom (this applies to many of the transportation industries).
Most of the money is made on business-class, but you can’t get too exorbitant with those prices either since the rise of private jets.
