    SPA 018 Update - Sept. 18, 2025

    Greetings, Council 18 pilots. As described in this week’s Chair’s message, Spirit has notified ALPA that they intend to seek $100 million in annual cost savings from our pilot group. While many of us probably saw something like this coming, it is still a gut punch that none of us ever wanted to face. Since 2020, Spirit pilots have tirelessly given their all to this company and its success through challenge after challenge. Now, management wants us to accept cost savings at great expense to our own families.
