Spirit Airlines is set to furlough 270 pilots starting November 1, marking its third round of furloughs since September 2022. Additionally, 140 pilots will be demoted on October 1 as the airline adjusts its workforce to align with a reduced schedule. The airline, which emerged from bankruptcy in March after filing in November due to financial struggles, aims to operate more efficiently to return to profitability. The Air Line Pilots Association is working on options to mitigate the impact of these furloughs.
