SANTA CLARA – A 5-foot-5 Argentinian No. 10 with a penchant for shredding opponents in the attacking third made his first appearance in the South Bay.  Now Hernán López, the great-nephew of the late  soccer legend Diego Maradona who was famous for such plays, hopes to recreate some of that same magic for the last-place San Jose Earthquakes.

The company, which posted a first quarter net loss of $103.9 million in 2023, also said the forthcoming second quarter will look worse than last year. On Wall Street, investors responded by driving down the price of airline’s common shares to a 52-week low of $3.35 in midday trading. But top executives declared they’re confident they can execute a financial recovery plan they started after the collapse of JetBlue Airways’ bid to take over Spirit for $3.8 billion. “While we reported a loss in the first quarter 2024, we are making progress towards our financial goals,” said Ted Christie, Spirit’s President and Chief Executive Officer in a statement. “The competitive environment remains challenging due to elevated capacity in many of the markets we serve,” he added.
