Spirit Airlines grounds flights through Thursday

Posted June 15, 2010 at 12:23 p.m.

Associated Press | Spirit Airlines says it won’t fly on Thursday,
as a pilot strike continues. Pilots walked out on Saturday in a dispute
over pay. The airline has not flown since then. Negotiators for the
pilots union and the airline are expected to meet Tuesday, though the
chances of a deal are not clear.

Spirit carries roughly 16,000
passengers per day, and many  have been stranded by the flight
cancellations. Spirit says it’s offering credit for future flights, or
customers can get a refund if they call the airline.
