  "summary": "Spirit is tracked across AI employer visibility rankings in the Airline sector. When candidates research the company through AI, it is rarely surfaced in employer-related queries — candidates researching this industry are far more likely to encounter competitors first — ranking #23 out of 27 Airline companies in the PerceptionX index.\n\nAI models most frequently position Spirit alongside Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines when discussing Airline employers.\n\nThe company shows strongest employer visibility in Compensation. Visibility gaps exist in Application & Communication, Candidate Feedback and Career Opportunities, where competitors tend to dominate the AI narrative.\n\nSpirit's Visibility Score has fallen from 8.5 to 2.6 across its last 3 measurements (since February 2026), slipping 12 places in the Airline rankings. United and Aar have moved ahead of it. It now trails Spirit Aerosystems by 2.5 points.\n\nThis analysis is based on AI-generated responses from ChatGPT, Google Gemini, and Perplexity. Data is refreshed regularly to reflect changes in AI employer perception.",

Responses from other assistants (e.g. Claude, DeepSeek) are collected for research but not included in index scoring.",
