I took it as we are holding our own and want to be in a position to grab market share and other opportunities if demand comes back. Obviously if demand doesn’t start to come back after 6 months or so they will have to look at other options. Some people just see the negative though.

I guess on an Apple product... getting into a Microsoft program was hard. However, if you used a different browser, or different hardware, it was easy. Click the link, enter your password... simple.
Apple is a hardware company, they don't want **** to be cross platform compatible. Then you would be able to use their software on hardware that is outside of their walled garden. I like Apple products, but they've created a world of people who can't function technically beyond a product that starts without the letter i.
They do privacy right though, since their profit comes from hardware sales. Instead of giving free software in exchange for your data. And their hardware lasts a long time. But they really have created a generation of tech idiots.

Did you listen to the presentation? There was a lot of CEO speak. Other than the beard. Grant money=no furloughs. Past Sept 30 is still in the air. We're pushing back airframe deliveries. We're cancelling WiFi, cabin interiors, FTD's, laid off airport crew, possibly cancelling BNA, possible cancelling new OCC, but yes, let me tell you how rosy it is and how Spirit will keep paying pilots with 10% of our passenger demand. The airline, hell the industry, is in survival mode. Grant money buys time to try to figure out the who, what, when, and where. If we get a positive response from treasure then we have paychecks until Sept 30. Past that a lot few of us will have paychecks as we adjust to the new reality.

I think the problem was getting a link in an email that says watch the livestream here at 6/5 central and then clicking the link at 6/5 central and finding out that no, just clicking the link will not bring up the stream. It took only a few minutes to get it straightened out but it caused myself a quite a few others to miss out on whatever it was we missed out on.
