Health insurance coverage will terminate on Saturday, May 2, 2026.

You will be eligible for continuation of coverage through COBRA at the full COBRA rate, from the date on which your coverage ends through May 31.

The total cost of benefit premiums and complete details will be outlined in your COBRA Enrollment Form. You will receive this COBRA notification via regular mail and may also access this information online. Online access to the COBRA system will be available within three (3) business days following your date of termination. To register for online COBRA system access, follow these steps:

• If you already have an account with Inspira, log in at
  mybenefits.inspirafinancial.com.
• If you’re new to Inspira, go to mybenefits.inspirafinancial.com and select
  “Create Profile” to set up your account.
• Once logged in, select “Enroll Online” and follow the prompts to complete your
  COBRA elections.
• After enrolling, you can make a one-time payment or set up recurring payments. Please review the Payment Options section of your notice for more details.

For more information regarding your COBRA Benefits, please contact: Inspira COBRA Support at 888 -678-7835 (TTY: 711) . Representatives are available Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. CT.

COBRA benefits will end on May 31. At this time Spirit’s health plan will be terminated, and you will qualify for a Special Enrollment Period in Marketplace coverage.

• You can enroll up to 60 days after your coverage ends.
• If you enroll by the 15th of the month, coverage typically starts the first day of the following month. Enrolling later may push the start date out one more month, so enrolling promptly is important to avoid a gap.
• To enroll visit HealthCare.gov or call 800 -318-2596.
• If your state has its own Marketplace, HealthCare.gov will automatically redirect you.

Refer to the ‘Spirit Airlines Transition Guide‘ for information regarding FSA and HSA accounts.

Flexible Spending Account (FSA): Healthcare FSA claims may be submitted within 60 days of your termination date, for expenses incurred on or before your coverage termination date; expenses incurred after termination are not eligible unless you elect FSA COBRA. 

To access FSA funds for the remainder of the coverage period, you must elect to continue FSA benefits through COBRA.

Health Savings Account (HSA): Any remaining balance in your HSA is yours to take with you. You may continue to use your HSA money for eligible medical expenses regardless of your employment status.

The 5 session company EAP benefit from Optum is available until May 31st.  A once-a-week counseling session is available to current users or new users through that May 31st date by calling 866-670-7941. Additional resources, including rosters of local/state financial resources, are available through the Optum website at liveandworkwell.com.

Yes. The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) unemployment insurance programs provide unemployment benefits to eligible workers who become unemployed through no fault of their own and meet certain other eligibility requirements. DOL states that people should file for unemployment in the state where they worked (where you were based).

Unemployment insurance is a joint state -federal program that provides cash benefits to eligible workers. Each state administers a separate unemployment insurance program, but all states follow the same guidelines established by federal law.

For more information regarding your qualifications for unemployment, please contact your state unemployment insurance office or visit the US DOL Unemployment website: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/unemployment-insurance

Note: Some unemployment applications ask about showing status with the union. Status with the Union is only for unions with a hiring hall. This does not include AFA so please click the “no” box where it asks being part of a union with a hiring hall.

Direct deposits for April’s OT, premium trips, per diem, lead pay and hours for May 1st and May 2nd (leading up to operational cease) have been initiated. Remember this does not include any unused SIC or VAC.

The question is – is it correct?

Please note, this paycheck does look different than it normally would.

We have heard from hundreds of you and we’re working to get back to everyone. Many of these inquiries are due to the format of the manual audit and visual breakdown of this pay statement in UKG. The company has advised of the following: “Crew Members will receive a final paycheck on Friday, May 22, 2026. Your final pay stub combines all hours worked in April through May 2nd into one consolidated statement. The format may look different than your usual pay stub as we are not able to provide a detailed breakdown due to system limitations.”

The biggest difference is that all hours paid are consolidated into a singular line item instead of being broken down separately to show individual line items for OT, premium, straight pay, etc. This is due to system limitations and the nature of the manual inputting that was required for this pay cycle.

We are getting information from the company to help each of us know how to audit this paycheck to ensure it is correct. For now please go to UKG to access and download:

• Pay statements  
• other tax and HR-related documents for future reference.

The company has identified a discrepancy on the most recent paycheck that has been distributed. In short, the paycheck dated 5/22 DID NOT include the 50% of the overtime incentive from April. This error will be reconciled on a separate paycheck that will be dated for Friday, 5/29.

Still believe there is a discrepancy beyond OT? Let us know here.

As previously communicated, current and past pay statements can be accessed in UKG.

Buddy-up for a second set of eyes and start this process using by referencing:

• NON Audited Pay Report (from SpiritLink) for April & May (if you were able to access and download by 5/2)
• Flica (although not always a perfect representation of hours, this will be close)
• We advise against using 3rd-party apps like FCview, Crewline and others as they will likely have inaccurate or out-of-date schedule data. Note, pay reports are no longer accessible from SpiritLink. In addition, remember that pay reports are different from pay statements.

Remember:

• This paycheck includes hours credited above 72 worked in April. Your guarantee of 72 was concurrently paid in April on 4/15 and 4/30.
• Overtime will not be reflective, so these hours will be straight pay.
• Any 200% incentives would be included but shown by doubling the hours of that trip and paying out the hours at straight pay.
  • Example: Trip was 200% and credited 12 hours. That trip would have been reflective in your hour totals as 24 hours. 

To reiterate, VAC and SIC that was not used in April or on May 1st or 2nd will not be paid out on these paychecks (on 5/22 and 5/29). If you were on Reserve on May 1st and 2nd, you will be paid for those days. Any unused VAC and SIC time is part of a bankruptcy court filing that AFA is representing us all on. If you identify any discrepancies other than missing 150% on the check from 5/22, promptly email [email protected].

Still believe there is a discrepancy? Let us know here.

Crew Pay and HR will remain available for assistance through May 31st. Once you have completed a full self-audit of your final paycheck and identify any specific discrepancies, please inquire promptly and directly to their respective inboxes: [email protected] and [email protected]

We are working to get all money owed to Spirit Flight Attendants paid as quickly as possible. The process for paying out accrued vacation and sick leave is slightly more complicated than paying out all remaining money owed for the schedules we worked up to the point of the shutdown. For this reason, AFA encouraged management to not wait to issue the “final paycheck” and at least pay Flight Attendants for all work performed as soon as possible.

Management agrees and is in the process of working to issue paychecks for this work next Friday, May 22. This would include all contractual pay, including overtime, up to the point of the shutdown.

During the bankruptcy process, Spirit management negotiated a separate fund of $150 million to cover last paychecks. Creating that separate account protected those funds from being subject to a standard distribution of assets of a liquidated company, a process that typically takes several months and would prioritize other entities to which Spirit owed money. Instead, this separate fund should expedite distributing money that is owed to you. While there is no guarantee the fund will fully cover all money owed, the $150 million is a significant amount that Spirit management estimated would fully cover money owed to you all and other employees. Spirit has not confirmed a date for the final paycheck. That said, we expect Spirit will distribute these funds in the near term and we are pressing for that to happen as soon as possible.

We have received reports that employees of companies that contract with Spirit have been paid according to their usual pay schedule. Those employees, although they may perform work for Spirit Airlines, are not directly employed by Spirit and their payroll is with another company.

Flight Attendants will receive a final paycheck for all hours worked. This includes any incentives that were offered in April. Anything coded (like VAC and SIC) and also hours worked in April will be paid out. The company will use the contact information (phone, personal email and address) you have listed in UKG. Please update this information ASAP to avoid any delays or missed communication.

AFA is filing an omnibus claim for all remaining money owed including:

• Vacation pay,
• Sick time accrued,
• The 60 day WARN Notice pay and benefits including healthcare premiums paid by management,
• Outstanding grievances,
• And any other benefits.

Our attorneys are working with our AFA bankruptcy counsel to file this omnibus claim next week and AFA has standing in court to represent all Spirit Flight Attendants on these outstanding claims for payment. In addition, we are on the Creditor’s Committee and will use every avenue available to advocate for the interests of Spirit Flight Attendants.

In support of this, we are also coordinating the best way for you to support this process in the bankruptcy court. We encourage you to stay close to our communications for instructions on what we can do collectively to demonstrate to the Court we are real people who need first consideration in this process.

You will continue to have access to UKG to download and save any important personal records, including but not limited to pay statements, W-2 forms, direct deposit information and any personal contact details.

The WARN Act Notice was provided to Spirit employees pursuant to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN Act), a federal statute requiring certain employers to give their employees written notice of plant closings or mass layoffs.

AFA has filed a WARN Act claim on behalf of the Spirit Airlines Flight Attendants. In this action, we are working with expert legal counsel experienced in pursuing WARN Act claims on behalf of workers in cases where employers were in bankruptcy.  AFA is already a creditor in the Spirit Airlines bankruptcy proceedings and has standing to file a claim on behalf of all flight attendants.  Thus, it is not necessary for Spirit Flight Attendants to join any other lawsuits pursuing a WARN Act claim.

Yes, this website provides some discounted travel benefits for retirees from airlines that have gone out of business. There is a requirement to have 10 years of service.

All extensions of pass travel benefits have now expired.

Last week (week of June 1st) our union made another filing in the bankruptcy court to argue for release of Spirit Flight Attendant’s money. Below is a recap of all of the motions we have filed in advance of the next bankruptcy hearing scheduled for this upcoming week (week of June 8th).

Nothing is more important than ensuring that you receive the accrued wages and benefits that you are owed and we are doing everything in our power to stop Spirit’s bondholders from holding up this process and permit distribution now. We are using every lever we have to push this forward. As the only union with a seat on the bankruptcy court’s creditors’ committee we are using our position to press our case. AFA has had expert bankruptcy counsel since the first bankruptcy, and has also retained outside counsel who are experienced in pursuing WARN Act claims on behalf of workers.

January, 2026 Administrative Claim

The first thing we did was file an administrative claim several months ago. We filed this claim in the bankruptcy court in order to preserve your rights and protect your contributions to Spirit. This claim covered grievances, wages, and earned benefits that were in place before the company filed for bankruptcy. This claim preserves future payment of these debts if there is sufficient funding.

WARN Act Claim

Since the shutdown of the airline on May 2nd, we filed a claim on behalf of all Spirit Flight Attendants over the company’s failure to abide by the WARN Act’s requirement to provide at least 60 days’ notice of their closure. Similarly, we also filed a grievance over the company’s failure to provide notice before furloughing under the furlough section of our Collective Bargaining Agreement. The company is arguing that they did not have to provide this notice under a legal defense called the “faltering company” exception. But we are arguing that you are entitled to these damages and the company should have provided notice sooner and that you should be compensated for that time, including the value of healthcare.

Objection to Wind-Down Motion

On June 5th, we filed an objection to the company’s proposed wind-down motion. Their motion proposes to insulate Spirit management from lawsuits while at the same time asserting that they should not have to pay any remaining debts owed to its workers unless management would be liable if they did not pay the debts. This contradiction is at the heart of our challenge. We are fighting to ensure the company honors its commitment to flight attendants by using its reserve fund to pay Flight Attendants. That fund was expressly set aside to take care of accrued vacation and sick pay that the company now is indicating it will not pay. The United States Government’s representative has also objected to the company’s wind-down plan. The Court will hear our objection in a few days on June 10th and it is likely we will not receive a decision until after the hearing given the number of objections.

As our bankruptcy attorneys argue, the bankruptcy court judge will again see your representatives in their Spirit uniforms in the courtroom. Under the bankruptcy law management can argue for pay, benefits and bonuses for “key employees,” typically management. That is not only what we object to, the presence of your flying partners and AFA leaders in uniform puts a very fine point on who the “key employees” are. We say pay the people, not the bondholders.

Remaining omnibus claim

In the coming weeks, we will file another claim that will cover debts owed to flight attendants that were incurred after the airline entered bankruptcy protection for the second time. This will include remaining active grievances, any remaining wages owed, and sick and accrued vacation if that issue hasn’t been resolved by then. We will be in contact in the near future to confirm what remains to be owed to everyone.
