Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. Due to the failure of this company to continue enriching the owner class, we are obliged to activate the self destruct on this aircraft in ten seconds. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for flying with Spirit Airlines.

Nah, Spirit would start collecting donations from the passengers to pay for the fuel to get there.
“Since we could only raise $10k we will be landing in Cincinnati, ya cheap bastards. Thanks for flying Spirit and fuck you.”

I mean they did end operations immediately. No more flights as of last night. If you were about to head to the airport, too bad

TBF, even if some tech version of Dispel Magic were triggered to enact that, most every mid-flight vessel would glide for many, many miles before touching down again. Unless, of course, that spell was of a far higher level. 😅🤓

”The White House blames Biden."

Of course Prez Grifter does - he's never at fault for anything.

these days: "Every morning I wake up is a good one. 🤷🏼♂️"
