@Uzoth @SpiritAirlines If your mom is who I think she is, it was truly a pleasure working with her when I had the chance. Wherever she ends up, they’ll be lucky to have her.

ngl my mom worked at @SpiritAirlines for 25+ years and at the airport in general for 30+. She has accomplished many feats throughout her career and has done what some would say is the impossible as a General Manager keeping her station one of the Top 3 Stations afloat even during Spirits downfall. @Delta @AmericanAir @FlyFrontier @JetBlue My mom is now out of a job, but with her expertise and knowledge with everything that goes in and out for managing flights and any roadblocks being cleared, I think she'd be a great hire, even despite the fuel prices being so high right now.

@cezieg Spirit Pilots and FAs are the best in the business. I think I definitely said hi to you in the flight deck at some point, and I went on a flight to nowhere with Brenda once. Hope you have a smooth landing - blue skies ahead!

Well, executive email went out: Spirit Airlines is officially ceasing operations today, May 2nd Operationally, Spirit has been the best carrier that I’ve worked for. Phenomenal flight crews who are professional, diligent, and well-trained. All around great people I once had the privilege of flying a 2 month old A320 NEO with new airplane smell ✨ The memes are out there, but there are no memes about air crew safety & performance. I’m thankful to have been part of such a group of even keeled pilots who were generous with their knowledge and experience 🫡

If you’re here because you saw my post about losing my job, hello! 👋 Professionally I’ve been working in digital and email marketing for 10+ years but unprofessionally I am a content creator. Nintendo is my big love, but I do a lot! Let’s hang out: linktr.ee/NintendoFanGirl

After nearly 4 amazing years, sadly my time at @SpiritAirlines has come to an end. I saw firsthand how our leaders fought for us until the very end and left no stone unturned trying to find a solution to keep Spirit flying. I’m grateful to have worked with and learned from a truly awesome, award-winning team – one where we laughed every single day – and many journalists and bloggers I’ve admired for years. If you know of any aviation-related media relations/comms positions, let’s connect via DM or tommy.fletcher@me.com. Feel free to RT! Blue skies ahead! 💛✈️

@MCCCANM @SpiritAirlines Thank you! I’ll be fine. My heart is with my colleagues with kids and families who just lost their way to support them.

@j_fishback @SpiritAirlines Thanks, James! Unfortunately me and thousands of my highly-skilled colleagues will likely have to leave Florida for our next opportunity. With Spirit’s shut down, so many aviation-specific jobs no longer exist in our state.

While the airlines are stepping up, what has really stood out to me has been the incredible response from so many airline employees and industry folks - personally offering kind words, connections and buddy passes to get home or to job interviews. It means a lot.

.@SecDuffy says airlines are offering jump seats/spare seats for Spirit employees who are stranded and offering preferential interviews for Spirit employees who have lost jobs

.@POTUS on the airline industry: "Spirit is in trouble and I'd love somebody to buy Spirit. It's 14,000 jobs... But with American, it's doing fine, and United is doing very well... I don't like having them merge."

.@SpiritAirlines having a little fun with its bright yellow livery. Calling it an ode to its longtime nickname ‘banana plane.' They'll have 6 banana liveries (sponsored by Airbus). The 1st should debut this week on N621NK w/ the design of a sticker typically found on a banana

.@SpiritAirlines isn't happy about JetBlue growing market share in Fort Lauderdale. So, Spirit is rolling out billboards touting itself as FLL's "true hometown carrier" Spirit offers 60 destinations from FLL now, 25 more than JetBlue. Love me an airline rivalry.
