Anyone that isn't prepared to wade through 4' of water, go 2 months without electricity and can't feed themselves from the magical bounty of food Florida provides should go back to New York or wherever. These people turn a hurricane from fun to a nightmare. #HurricaneStrong

The first step of preparing for hurricanes is to know your risk. Hurricanes are not just a coastal problem, so find out today what types of water and wind hazards could happen where YOU live #HurricanePrep #HurricaneStrong noaa.gov/know-your-risk…

Flying home today. My checked bag was 50.5lbs. They made me take stuff out so that it was under 50lbs. I boarded and sitting in the row opposite me is a woman who weighs about 300 lbs. Why do I have to watch my bags weight limit but someone spilling into the seat doesn’t?

@MrAndyNgo Sit down dofus. Great crews, great pilots, great maintenance. Perfect 34 year safety record. On this you need to sit this out.

@SRuhle So a poorly run company going under due to sector headwinds is how economics usually works, Steph. Usually they’ll try to sell themselves to somebody else before the shit hits the fan to avoid straight up bankruptcy, which Spirit tried to do but… well, you know the rest I assume

Pour one out for the Spirit flight attendants today. When an airline goes under, they lose their seniority which when you're an FA is your entire career. If they want to go to a new airline, they have to start at the very bottom.

Fellow Captains at all other airlines please make the walk for our fellow Spirit pilots. Get them HOME. Even if you have to give up the jumpseat and get home a day late. It’s only right since they can’t jumpseat after 11pm. #SpiritAirlines 💛

@EllliotttB Yes, because you don’t understand aviation and its business. Not a criticism.

I don’t understand why jet blue can’t just go hire the spirit pilots buy the spirit planes and just go buy their routes anyways

Spirit Airlines shut down its operation overnight. Spirit pilots will remain in the CASS system until 2300 tonight (2MAY). Please make the walk and offer any Spirit pilot needing a ride the jumpseat so they can get home. Thanks for helping our fellow @ALPAPilots during this difficult time.

@InfantryPilot It would be a good move. Open up the east coast and south America. Open a base in MIA/Fll Training center in FLL

@groundshy Not sure. But we did hire the majority of the Aloha Airlines pilots. I hope our new sugar daddy does the same for the Spirit pilots.

@lennartprimal Their great grandfathers helped the Turks to genocide the Greeks. Taking lessons learned, repeated at home by their grandfathers in the 1930’s

German boys using Arab slang and trying not to talk like a German but like an Arab are a disgrace. Their great grandfathers would turn in their graves.

@voiceofhellas Constantinople had many Greeks and Armenians who were systematically persecuted in the last century. To see what Constantinople could have been visit Thessaloniki and have a beer as there are many such places you describe.

En son ne zaman kendi mahallenizdeki bi mekanda bira ictiniz? Niye sanki yasakmis gibi Istanbul'da mahalle aralarinda kimse bar/pub/taverna falan acmiyor? Tekel yoksa icki bile alabilecegin yer yok cunku cogu markette ve bakkalda da satilmiyor. Restoranlarda da bira satilmiyor mesela. Onune gelen firin veya kuafor aciyor ama eglence mekani yok. Takilmak icin en az yarim saat aracla seyahat etmen lazim. Sosyal hayat cok zayif. Birkac semt disinda kimse mahallesinde oturup yemek yiyemez, bira icemez. Bu hayat nasil boyle sekillendi acaba? Kim bunu normal kabul etti? Niye kimse suraya da bi pub acalim mahallenin gencleri gelir takilir demiyor?
