Spirt to layoff

[atpcliff]

Hi.

My buddy at Spirit emailed me about 4 days ago to tell me he was going to be furloughed. He just joined in Feb.

wow... this thread is the most uninformed crap I've seen on here in a long time. SJU is not closed yet. Nor is LGA. No one is furloughed... yet. WARN act only. Now we have our CEO scrambling on the news to say nothing is happening. Starting mediated contract talks next week. That's all that anyone KNOWS. Oh yeah- Spirit is and always has been a privately held company... so no stock.

A thought.

Maybe it has been discussed on other threads, but has anyone suggested that this is posturing on the part of management?

Since you are not a public company and stock price isnt a concern, would it be possible that managment is using the bad news of the industry and announcments of capacity reductions as a spring board for mediated talks?

Maybe a long shot, but the executives of the industry are proven to be more than willing to go below the belt.

Certainly a possibility, especially with Ex-Con-Jon on the board of directors and the positive influence and upstanding business practices he brings to NK.

Hey Troll565

Not that it matters much... but...

you make all us Spirit pilots look like idiots when you call someone "numbnuts" and say we don't have any stock. I was simply ill-informed with my earlier response.

FYI... we are a corporation licensed in Michigan. Stock is required for every corporation, that is why it is a corporation. We have 23,000,000 shares to be exact. Go look it up youself. Neat huh! By the way... just because our stock is not publicly traded doesn't mean it does not have value. And you can bet our fearless leader will be getting a bonus if he increases that value by whatever means.
