Cheap Flights, Risky Bets

Can a budget airline turn into a budget-friendly stock play?  In this Think Like an Investor Thursday, the co-hosts do a full diagnostic on Spirit Airlines—from financial filings to Reddit threads. Whitney unpacks the investor relations strategy (or lack thereof), employee sentiment, and customer reviews, while Brittany zooms out to evaluate macro trends, market volatility, and competitive dynamics. Along the way, they ask whether low-cost carriers can be high-value investments—or whether regulation, razor-thin margins, and reputation risk make airlines too turbulent to touch. It’s a masterclass in going beyond vibes and balancing instinct with analysis.
