4:44Now PlayingSpirit Airlines said Monday it will furlough about 270 pilots while demoting another 140, as the cash-strapped budget carrier looks to scale down its workforce to match a downsized schedule. The furloughs will go into effect on Nov. 1, while designation downgrades for captains will take place on Oct. 1, the company told Reuters in an emailed statement.
Clint Henderson, managing editor of news at The Points Guy, joined “NewsNation Now” to discuss the airline's future.
