"Looking For Lifeline": Spirit Airlines Asks Trump Admin For Emergency Bailout
Bankrupt Spirit Airlines appears to be flying on fumes, with a late Friday report indicating the budget carrier has become so desperate for cash that it has approached the Trump administration for an emergency bailout, even as creditors mull pulling the plug at any moment.
