RIP Spirit Airlines

[Addicting]

Spirit airlines is no longer an active business as of this morning.

I hope any of you affected find some relief with your canceled trips or employment.

17,000 workers with no job and thousands of booked flights cancelled without clear plans if refunds will be issued.

I had a coworker that returned from a trip to Florida with them last week and they lost hundreds of dollars on the return due to canceled flights and inability to rebook with them. Sounds like they were already planning a foot out the door.

I have a bad feeling that they are not the only small airline in trouble. There's a lot of businesses that have and are going to go under. I've already seen quite a few Mom and Pop gas stations go under. Sad but predictable and it ain't over.

If you watch the trucking industry it’s been happening for the last year. Quite a few major carriers closed the doors without warning.

The signs are everywhere but the Stock Market keeps climbing.

I've been watching the trucking industry since 1970 when I first got my class 1 license. After nearly 30 years of driving the US, Canada and Mexico I finally gave it up. Major carriers have been going under with regularity. Ringsby United, PIE, C&H out of Dallas just to name a few.
