Bidding war for defunct Spirit Airlines’ employee data will not die

AI firm Micro1 bid $12.5 million for Spirit Airlines' 600 million employee email and chat records, challenging Google's $10 million auction win.

After Spirit Airlines entered bankruptcy, Google won an auction for the airline's data trove with a $10 million bid, beating Mercor's $7.5 million offer, but Micro1 has now counter-offered $12.5 million. The data includes about 600 million email and chat records from 17,000 employees, 17 million OneDrive files, 20.5 million SharePoint items, and over 30 million customer service calls, valuable for AI training. Former employees' unions, including the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA representing 5,500 flight attendants, have taken legal action to block the sale over privacy concerns.
