So many other things to buy that aren’t as risky. Airline stocks are in no man’s land right now.

You should be buying nothing right now. The market is moving up yet unemployment is reaching record highs. Just wait for the other shoe to drop.

The market may go down again and retest the lows. But if you have a 20 year horizon or longer now is a damn good time to buy. Nobody knows the bottom.
or the top for that matter. There are some extremely well run companies that will
be around 75 years from now on deep discount. (Think Wal mart, coke, McDonald’s ) The exact entry point isn’t as important as just getting In. I for one think spirit is a solid buy at this price. I wound generally stick with boring safe blue chip stocks right now . But if you wanna take a swing for a few thousand bucks .. I feel spirit is a solid risk/reward

Banking on a bailout. Probably not smart but I missed out buying CAL for pennies after 9-11.
The liquid courage helped me pull the trigger...excuse me while I go throw up now.

No kidding. I've doubled my money based on my average cost basis for SAVE I bought approximately 10-11 months ago. I just need it to hold on for another couple of months so I can sell and pay tax based on long term capital gains instead of ordinary income. Rooting for you guys!

Still 1.8 million? Ouch. Guess all the "my plane was full" in the world doesn't fix selling 50 dollar one way transcons just to keep a few customers away from southwest.

Well, non-ticket revenue was only down 4.5%.... We need butts in those seats to pay the ancillary portion of our revenue stream. I guess it could be worse.

Let’s see, $1.9 BILLION in liquidity divided by $1.8 MILLION per day means NK can only keep going like this for about 1055 days...

Well, that’s only if the third PSP package doesn’t come through. If it does, that would take it out to about three and a third YEARS.

As long as the legacy carriers keep begging for cash and Spirit gets a cut to not furlough employees they didn’t even intend to furlough, it’s a good deal.

Here Spirit is announcing hiring again, while receiving $185m in payroll support for this current round. That’s enough to cover cash burn for the next quarter.

The cash burn numbers do not include the PSP money. So they probably aren’t burning money if you include the govt. assistance.
