I've got a few buddies who work for Spirit. And from what I know about their situation,and believe me, it is not much, but as expected, nobody who is/was DTW based is very happy about having their base yanked out from underneath them. I really wanted to work for them last summer, THE OTHER HOMETOWN AIRLINE at DTW! So the base thing really disappointed me, as well, and I looked elsewhere.
And it sounds like their ongoing contract negotiations have not gone all that well, and the recent experiment of hiring the just-out-of-school Riddle grads is eating at all of the higher-time guys with the company (along with us outsiders and wannabes), but................
..................as upset as everyone wants to get, and many are justified in feeling that way, LONG-TERM, if Spirit does well, and grows into this hugely popular, ultra low cost success, and doubles in size over the next several years, along with preventing pilot turnover due to their unpopular hiring guidelines, while flying new buses......................EVIL Spirit management will be looked at like they are genius's.......books will be written about how they revolutionalized the "ultra low cost" model, TIME magazine will put BBB on the cover, and so on and so forth.......
Anyway, just thought I'd play a little devil's advocate. Spirit folk may be looked upon as pioneers 10 years from now.
FLAME AWAY
Go STATE
