Why former Spirit Airlines flight attendants oppose Google buying defunct carrier’s data

Former Spirit Airlines flight attendants strongly object to Google's acquisition of the airline’s data, citing concerns about inadequate protection of employee privacy. A third party will sanitize personally identifiable information from the vast dataset before transfer to Google. Union representatives assert that this scrubbing process is insufficient to safeguard employees’ identities and other private details. The sale of Spirit Airlines’ corporate records for AI training purposes raises significant risks regarding sensitive worker information. These unions believe the potential misuse of sanitized data could still expose vulnerable personal information.
