Default feasible for the employees to take control?
I know it's bad advice to owe airline stocks when you're an airline pilot, eggs in one basket and all, but at what point would it make sense to take control of the company through buying the stock? At the current stock price it would cost each pilot $37000 to have 51% of the common stock.

And you think you could just buy up 51% of the stock…and at the current price? Haha.

Wouldn’t that drive the price up? Keep it low so somebody can make a move on you.

Pilots take control of Spirit? lol. Probably go out of business even faster than you are now.

Could you imagine that Halon kid making CEO decisions?

Why would I spend $37k or likely way more on something that’s going to zero
