In a shocking turn of events, Spirit Airlines warned investors of 'substantial doubt' about its 'ability to continue as a going concern within 12 months.' The budget carrier reported a jaw-dropping net loss of $245.8 million in Q2 2025 thanks to 'weakening demand' and 'elevated domestic capacity.' Experts confirm Spiritās new business model involves selling 'aircraft, real estate, and gate rights' as collateralābecause who needs airplanes to fly when you can just auction them off mid-flight? Sources report thousands of pilots face furlough, while travelers mourn the disappearance of the once legendary 'Go Comfy' middle-seat block.
