Seatbacks block the aisle behind you, hindering egress. This is the same reason bags must stow fully under the seat in front of you. In an emergency evacuation, seconds mean the difference between life and death. Upright seatbacks and stowed bags save precious seconds.

Cellphones were originally banned for two reasons: to avoid overloading the cell network and for fear of interference with aircraft communication and navigation radios. Interference no longer seems to be a problem; now it’s mostly about avoiding network overload and preventing people from talking on phones.

Marco Rubio finding out he has to run Spirit Airlines now too.

[Izengabe @Izengabe_]

The bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines is a direct result of the policy failures of Biden Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Here's Buttigieg bragging about blocking the JetBlue Sprit merger that could have saved the airline. His incompetence in office was just breathtaking.

Here's Biden Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg bragging about blocking the Spirit Airlines merger with JetBlue that would have saved the airline from bankruptcy. I don't think America has ever had a more incompetent Secretary of Transportation than Mayor Pete.

[Billy Binion @billybinion]

This is a colossal failure on the part of the Biden admin (and antitrust hawks generally). The government stopped Spirit from merging with JetBlue over concerns about ticket prices. So instead the low-price company will just shut down instead. A total faceplant.

[Boring_Business @BoringBiz_]

Spirit airlines is now planning to shut down after a failed rescue for the company

As reminder, JetBlue offered to buy the company for almost $4B a few years ago

The DoJ blocked the M&A deal, claiming that it would take out the low cost airline operator from the market and hurt consumers

Incredible work from our own regulators. They destroyed value for shareholders, and now the low cost operator will be leaving the market anyway

Once again thinking about this line as Spirit reportedly nears the end.

14,000 jobs and affordable airfare depend on federal relief. That decision should not be difficult.

Spirit drives prices lower in every market it enters. That competitive pressure is the reason millions of Americans can afford to fly. Remove Spirit, and affordability goes with it. Restructuring must move forward.

@Erik_Erlendsson Pretty sure I already saw Vasy beat Swayman somewhere before…🤣

@DirtyTesLa Which option do you pick for speed issues? Navigation? Critical? There’s places where the speed limit is 70 and the car thinks 30 and vice versa

[AFA-CWA @afa_cwa]

WE are Spirit.

"I don't come from money, and there's no backup plan waiting for me. I'm asking you to look past the politics and see people like me — working, showing up, and doing everything we can to build something better for our families."

@SawyerMerritt How does one sign up in FL? The app and website don’t have FL as an option

[Spirit ALPA MEC @SpiritMEC_ALPA]

Urge Congress to Support Federal Relief for Spirit. https://t.co/gCyArlyfsN

Losing this airline would not just cost 14,000 jobs, it would cost competition, affordability, and access for passengers who have nowhere else to turn.

[Spirit ALPA MEC @SpiritMEC_ALPA]

When Spirit enters a market, fares go down. Losing this airline would not just cost 14,000 jobs, it would cost competition, affordability, and access for passengers who have nowhere else to turn.

@BoltsJolts Pretty sure they did alright in the last home playoff game these two teams played.
