Spirit Airlines Goes Belly Up: Another Woke Company Bites the Dust?
Guess offering the cheapest flights wasn't enough to offset the virtue signaling - now who's gonna fly Grandma to Bingo night?

So, Spirit Airlines finally pulled a Bud Light. Turns out, being the 'Dollar General of the Skies' doesn't work so well when your woke-ness is higher than your altitude. Who could have seen this coming? (Everyone.)
Remember when they started pushing DEI harder than actually getting people to their destinations on time? Turns out, airlines are supposed to, you know, fly. Not lecture you about pronouns at 30,000 feet. Maybe focus on, I don't know, not losing luggage?
Now their planes are sitting on tarmacs like rejected meme formats. Nomadic Aviation Group's Steve Giordano is out there playing cleanup crew, basically herding cats in the form of grounded Airbus jets. 'Mass confusion,' he says. Sounds about right. Reminds me of the Biden administration's handling of, well, everything.
Spirit's got 28 Airbus A320s they're trying to unload. Good luck with that. Who wants a plane that smells faintly of desperation and broken dreams? They're also hawking off office buildings and maintenance facilities. Probably decorated with motivational posters featuring AOC quotes.
Henry Harteveldt from Atmosphere Research Group is salivating over Spirit's airport gates. 'Ooh, gates at Houston and Vegas!' Get ready for United to charge you $50 to breathe the same air as a first-class passenger.
And don't forget those sweet landing slots at LaGuardia and Newark. Ahmed Abdelghany from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University thinks they're hot commodities. I'm sure they are. Perfect for airlines to jack up prices even further. Thanks, Spirit!
What's the lesson here? Get woke, go broke. Spirit tried to be everything to everyone and ended up pleasing no one. They catered to the Twitter mob instead of focusing on the basics: reliable service and not losing your grandma's dentures.
The pilots in jeans and t-shirts flying these planes to the scrapyard? That's the real American spirit right there. Grinding it out, even when the company they worked for decided to self-destruct.
So, pour one out for Spirit. May their planes be parted out and sold to airlines that understand the difference between running a business and running a social justice seminar. And remember folks, fly DeSantis Airlines... oh wait.
Let this be a lesson to every other company out there: Stick to what you're good at. And if that's flying people from point A to point B, maybe just focus on that. Leave the political grandstanding to the politicians. They're already screwing everything up just fine.
