Spirit Airlines apologized to the American public during a last minute bankruptcy hearing Tuesday morning just days after its shock shutdown.
The budget-friendly airline shut down with immediate effect Saturday, impacting thousands of passengers who became stranded and nearly as many employees.
Marshall Huebner, an attorney for the former airline, took the stand in front of Judge Sean H. Lane in a White Plains, New York, courtroom to discuss the hardship it encountered that led to its shutdown, including a dramatic rise in fuel prices resulting from the U.S. and Israel’s war with Iran.
Frankly, I’m surprised it took this long. Like most of America, they’ve been paycheck to paycheck for a long time, just waiting for that inevitable disaster that makes them homeless, and it finally happened.
High gas prices are going to destroy a lot of companies, and a lot of lives. Gas was $2.79 on the day they started bombing. It was $4.59 yesterday.
We have reached the stage where they simply don’t care if it hurts us.
The next stage will be inflicting pain on us to make us submit.
Then it we’ll move to the stage where they inflict pain, just because it’s entertaining.
Crazy how Biden is still making gas prices go up so long after he left office.
I would hope it’s obvious, but /s.
