Spirit's senior leadership has committed to taking a salary reduction at a percentage not less than the Pilot group's reduction upon ratification of a tentative agreement with Pilots.

"These agreements reflect the shared commitment of our Team Members and principal labor unions in securing a successful future for Spirit, and we thank ALPA and AFA leadership for their partnership and collaboration," said Dave Davis, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We're grateful to our Pilots and Flight Attendants for their professionalism, resilience and unwavering commitment to safety and our Guests as we work to build a stronger airline that Americans can count on for many years to come."

The Company estimates that the annual savings from these agreements in principle, if implemented, achieves the target necessary for the Company's next draw under its debtor-in-possession ("DIP") financing.
