Spirit航空再破產 飛行員工會警告更多痛苦




Spirit Airlines工會警告成員破產重創將帶來更多痛苦

美國廉價航空Spirit Airlines於今年內第二次申請破產保護,旗下空服員及機師工會近日向會員發出警告,指隨著公司加強削減成本,員工將面臨更大壓力和犧牲,根據路透社取得的內部備忘錄顯示。

這間總部設於佛羅里達的超廉價航空公司於八月再次申請破產保護,原因是先前的重組未能根本解決其財務困難。空服員協會在周三的備忘錄中表示:「這次破產將比上一次更加艱難,我們必須做好準備,積極行動以保護我們的利益。」

早前該公司曾向機師發出備忘錄,透露計劃削減1億美元的年度機師開支以節省現金,並預告將於11月初前實施約300名機師的無薪休假。Spirit Airlines同時計劃在11月減少25%的航班運力,並坦言為了降低現金消耗,必然會影響員工規模。

Spirit方面表示,已向航空機師協會(ALPA)提出會面,商討節省成本方案,預計10月1日前達成協議。

此外,Spirit Airlines正面臨來自債權人日益嚴峻的壓力,包括飛機製造商空中巴士(Airbus),該公司在相關文件中指出Spirit拖欠逾100萬美元的零件費用。Spirit同時與飛機租賃公司AerCap Holdings就2027至2028年間交付的36架空中巴士飛機合約存在爭議。

ALPA主席Jason Ambrosi近期表示,隨著疫情後的旅遊熱潮逐漸消退,預料會有更多機師被迫無薪休假。

他指出:「目前美國市場機師供過於求,想為每位機師找到合適工作位置將變得非常困難。」

據顧問Kit Darby的數據,去年美國12家主要航空公司共招聘了4,834名機師,遠低於2022年的13,357人。

評論與見解

Spirit Airlines的二度破產,反映出廉價航空在市場競爭及經營成本控制上的嚴峻挑戰。雖然低票價策略吸引大量旅客,但航空業本身的高固定成本和波動的燃油價格,令這種模式承受巨大財務壓力。Spirit此次削減機師開支和航班運力,無疑是為了延長現金流的壽命,但同時也會削弱服務能力和員工士氣,長遠看可能影響品牌形象和客戶忠誠度。

工會的警告揭示了勞資關係的緊張,這不僅是個別公司問題,更是整個航空業在疫情後恢復期遇到的共同困境。隨著旅遊需求回落,機師等專業人員的供過於求,可能導致薪酬和工作保障下降,這對人才留存和行業穩定均構成威脅。

此外,與供應商如空中巴士和AerCap的債務糾紛,顯示Spirit財務狀況的脆弱,這種不確定性也會影響其未來飛機更新與擴張計劃。對投資者而言,這些風險需謹慎評估。

綜觀而言,Spirit Airlines的案例提醒我們,廉價航空的成敗不單是價格競爭,更關乎財務管理、勞工關係及供應鏈協調。未來業界如何在保持低價吸引力的同時,達成可持續經營,將是各方必須面對的重大課題。香港航空業及投資者亦可從中反思自身策略,警惕過度依賴成本削減而忽略長期發展的風險。

[Enhanced Artistic Prompt]

A highly detailed portrait of a young Asian woman inspired by the delicate, doll-like beauty of Imada Mio (精緻洋娃娃臉). She has large, round, luminous eyes with a deep, expressive gaze, a petite V-shaped face, full rosy cheeks, and porcelain-soft skin. Her expression is a captivating blend of innocence, youthful energy, and subtle flirtation, capturing an aura of pure allure.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, with natural volume and texture—slightly tousled in an artful, “just woke up” messy style (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with soft strands falling over her face and shoulders. She wears an oversized, semi-translucent white button-down boyfriend shirt (男友風白襯衫), loosely draped and unbuttoned at the top, elegantly revealing her collarbones and creating a “bottomless” fashion look (下衣失蹤風格) with a sense of relaxed intimacy.

The overall aesthetic is reminiscent of a contemporary Japanese Gravure photobook (寫真集風格), evoking both pure charm and subtle sensuality (Pure & Sexy vibe). Use bright, high-key natural lighting to create a soft, ethereal glow, with smooth, radiant skin texture. Emphasize pastel color grading and gentle film grain, referencing the signature look of Fujifilm PRO 400H for a dreamy, cinematic finish. Compose the image artistically, focusing on beauty, mood, and expressive detail, as if captured in a candid, intimate moment.

She looks up directly at the camera with wide, expressive eyes, creating an intimate and slightly surreal mood. She wears a soft white bucket hat, a cozy oversized green-and-beige checkered sweater, blue jeans, and white sneakers.
