Spirit Cuts Over 30 Routes
The ultra-low-cost carrier is axing service across its network. (airlinegeeks.com) More...

When discussing Spirit, the phrase "axing service" could mean something other than fewer routes, although I suppose it would be hard to cut nearly-non-existent customer service by much.
The article tells us that Spirit is flying about 18% fewer flights compared to prior years quarter. And that 23 Airbus neos are parked due to P-W GTF engine issues.
I guess one would expect an airline to cut 18% of their flights when 20% of their aircraft are grounded. Pretty much proves one shouldn't put all your eggs in one basket. Hopefully, they make it through as I for one don't need phony smiles or a bag of pretzels, just a safe trip. It seems all of the other airlines are quick to announce their new routes but never publish those they are dropping. Funny how that works.
Not mentioned here is that Spirit is consulting with experts in bankruptcy.
Bet crew and others are looking to land jobs elsewhere.
When Pilots start jumping ship (Figuratively speaking), it is not a good sign!
