@realDonaldTrump @POTUS
President Trump can do this. It’s the right thing to do to save American workers and offer affordable air travel for Americans. #SaveOurSpirit

[Sara Nelson @FlyingWithSara]

Again, if @realDonaldTrump wants to do this he can. It’s not up to anyone else. It’s up to him.

[Rapid Response 47 @RapidResponse47]

.@POTUS on Spirit Airlines: "If we can do it, we'll do it, but only if it's a good deal... I said I'd like to save the jobs, but we'll have an announcement sometime today. We gave them a final proposal."

[Sara Nelson @FlyingWithSara]

If @realDonaldTrump wants to help @SpiritAirlines he can do it. It’s in his hands. Everyday Americans will hurt - beyond the nearly 20k employees who will lose their livelihoods - it will cost consumers $1B annually. If you’re in charge @POTUS then make it happen now.

@SecDuffy @WhiteHouse @CommerceGov @FlyingWithSara

Secretary Duffy, keeping Spirit flying isn’t about a company, it’s about millions of Americans who rely on affordable travel to see family, get to work, and access opportunity. Don’t leave them behind. #SaveOurSpirit

@FlyingWithSara

Secretary Duffy, take Spirit out of the market and watch airfare prices climb overnight. That’s not competition, that’s leaving everyday Americans behind. #SaveOurSpirit

Spirit Flight Attendants and thousands of other workers have invested their entire careers in the airline and provided a great service to the traveling public through good and bad times. (1/3)

[Kris Van Cleave @krisvancleave]

.@SpiritAirlines talks continue. Sources tell @JenniferJJacobs and I two of the three Spirit creditor groups are on board with the government's offer of up to a $500M lifeline. The unsecured creditors and the revolving creditors are in. The bondholders have not yet committed.

[Kris Van Cleave @krisvancleave]

As talks continue to bail out @spiritairlines. Two possible reasons to save Spirit--jobs and keeping airfare low(er). We dug into what happens when an Ultra Low Cost Carrier like Spirit exits a route. Most often flyers end up paying more.

@krassenstein @SpiritAirlines creates competition in the market. Many have been bailed out to the tune of 80 Billion dollars. Spirit is in this position because of factors completely outside of their control. This isn’t about an airline this is about the 19,000 human beings who work here.

[Colleen @ampwolf_]

@BasedMikeLee @tedcruz Competition amongst airlines suffers when you remove the airline that helps make air travel affordable and drives legacy carriers to compete with fair pricing.

[Colleen @ampwolf_]

@tedcruz So prove you are better than the Biden administration and don’t kill our airline. If the government doesn’t have enough bright minds to run an airline what should we really be trusting them with?

[Colleen @ampwolf_]

@SenTomCotton The issue has never been the airlines ability to run successfully but a series of events out of their control and unfortunate events since COVID. Spirit changed the entire aviation landscape with lower fares and value flying.

@WhiteHouse @SenTedCruz @SenWarren @CNN @FoxNews @SpiritAFA

We are the market disrupters, our airline has held the other carriers to lower fares that makes travel affordable for the majority of Americans.

[Kris Van Cleave @krisvancleave]

The Trump Administration is in active negations about a big bailout for @SpiritAirlines but not everyone likes the idea. Our @CBSEveningNews report

[AFA-CWA @afa_cwa]

#Illinois Flight Attendants, family, & friends: We need you to call your State Reps and tell them to support Senate Bill 645 so that Flight Attendants & other aviation workers can be protected by the Illinois Sick Leave Act. Make your call: https://t.co/GaCwWOviLG

[Colleen @ampwolf_]

Illinois aviation workers need IL expanded sick leave like every other worker! Airline executives pushed an exemption that leaves us without these protections in a pandemic no less! Speaker @RepChrisWelch, we’re making sure you get the support to move SB 645 to fix this wrong.

Secretary Mnuchin, you're 8 days past due: CUT THE CHECKS! #WorkersFirst
