Broward-based Spirit Airlines plans major cost cuts amid second bankruptcy in a year – CBS News Miami
The local CBS station in South Florida reached out to me to come and talk about what is happening with Spirit. The airline’s president put a memo out saying that capacity would be down 25 percent year-over-year in November. That’s a bit misleading since the schedule is already down about 13 percent, but it’s still a significant additional drop that’s coming.
