A TikToker has initiated a crowdfunding campaign aimed at resurrecting Spirit Airlines, which announced its closure on Saturday after nearly 35 years of operation, largely due to rising oil prices. The campaign reflects the sentiments of employees, with one stating, 'I was holding back tears' upon learning of her job loss. The effort seeks to rally community support to restore the airline's services in South Florida.
