ABC's Alex Stone - August 4, 2021 - KRDO's Afternoon News

Spirit Airlines still can’t seem to overcome its problems this week as it has cancelled hundreds more flights today and its passengers remain stranded in random cities.  Today the CEO is telling ABC News it will take until probably the middle of next week to get back on track and that until then, there will be cancellations every day. He says getting the airline back up and running has been more complex than they expected, particularly with getting crews where they need to be and getting passengers out on flights. He says it’s like putting a puzzle back together. The airline blames weeks of weather, staffing, and computer problems that finally ate away at their system until it crumbled.  The CEO promises they have learned lessons to prevent the chaos in the future.
