A TV news item I saw also mentioned selling spare engines and airport gates to raise cash. Coupled with staff reductions, it paints a bleak picture.

Choose carefully when making travel plans, so you don't end up with a last moment "what happened to my flight?" problem to solve.

Looks like they are cancelling some flights for the next couple of months.

Spirit may not be around for the long run.

Peter Greenberg was talking about this yesterday, he feels it's either shutdown or merger time. I guess there have been two failed merger attempts recently.
