Spirit Airlines Faces Bankruptcy Amid CEO Bonus Controversy
Spirit Airlines CEO Ted Christie received a $3.8 million retention bonus just a week before the airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, amid financial struggles exacerbated by the pandemic and failed merger attempts. The airline, which has seen its stock plummet by over 90% this year, has been unable to adapt to changing travel patterns and faces significant debt and losses. Christie's bonus is contingent on his staying with the company for another year, despite the airline's uncertain future.
