4月24日(路透社)——代表精神航空员工的一个工会周五表示,美国对这家破产低成本航空公司的任何救助都必须保护员工。

精神航空的外部律师马歇尔·休布纳周四表示,特朗普政府已提出融资提议,帮助该航空公司摆脱破产,目前正由其主要债权人审议。

代表精神航空地勤员工的国际机械师和航空航天工人协会表示,任何救助都必须要求“不得停工、不得裁员,也不得将负担转嫁给维系这家航空公司运营的普通员工”。

精神航空的问题早在伊朗局势升级前就已存在,但自2月底该局势爆发以来飙升的油价让其处境雪上加霜。

休布纳称,如果精神航空清算,将导致逾1.7万个工作岗位消失,并产生数十亿美元的债权。

该工会援引了疫情时期针对航空公司的政府救助计划,该计划包含对高管薪酬的限制以及对股票回购和股息的约束。

部分精神航空债权人的一名律师周四在法庭上表示,他们已审阅了政府提议的条款清单,消息人士称该方案包含5亿美元融资,且附带条件为政府获得相当于精神航空90%股权的认股权证。

这笔优先的占有中融资将帮助精神航空摆脱自2025年以来的第二次破产重组。

唐纳德·特朗普总统周四表示,他的政府正考虑以“合适的价格”收购这家陷入困境的航空公司。“当油价下跌时,我们将出售该公司以获取利润,”他在白宫对记者说道。

这家总部位于佛罗里达州的廉价航空公司正面临资金时限压力。休布纳曾表示,精神航空需要在下周结束前获得新融资或动用2.4亿美元自有资金。

尽管在高油价挤压航空公司利润之际,达成这项交易将使精神航空得以存续,但美国政府资助救助的前景遭到了航空业内以及特朗普所在共和党党内人士的反对。

Union says US bailout of Spirit Airlines must protect employees

April 24 (Reuters) – A union representing workers at Spirit Airlines said on Friday any U.S. bailout of ​the bankrupt low-cost carrier must protect employees.

The Trump administration has made ‌a financing offer to help the airline exit bankruptcy that was being reviewed by its major creditors, Marshall Huebner, an outside lawyer for Spirit, said on Thursday.

The International Association of ​Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents Spirit’s ramp service employees, said any ​bailout must require “no furloughs, no layoffs, and no shifting the burden ⁠onto the very people who keep this airline running.”

Spirit’s problems predate the ​Iran war, but spiking fuel prices since it began in late February have made ​its situation worse.

The liquidation of Spirit would eliminate more than 17,000 jobs and generate billions of dollars in claims, Huebner said.

The union cited a pandemic-era government rescue program for airlines that ​included limits on executive compensation and restrictions on stock buybacks and dividends.

A lawyer ​for some Spirit creditors said in court on Thursday they had reviewed a term sheet ‌of ⁠the government’s offer that sources say includes $500 million in financing and a condition the government receive warrants equal to 90% of Spirit’s equity.

The senior debtor-in-possession financing would help Spirit exit its second bankruptcy restructuring since 2025.

President Donald Trump said on Thursday ​his administration was ​looking at buying ⁠the embattled airline at the “right price.” “When the price of oil goes down, we would sell it for a profit,” he ​told reporters at the White House.

The Florida-based budget carrier is ​running short ⁠on time. Huebner has said Spirit needs new financing or access to $240 million of its funds by the end of next week.

While a deal would keep Spirit afloat ⁠at ​a time when higher fuel prices eat into ​carriers’ profits, the prospect of a U.S. government-funded bailout has led to pushback from within the airline ​industry and among members of Trump’s Republican Party.
