Spirit/Frontier merger was a like-kind merger…Would not have concentrated a presence in a region..Likely would have past the test in this administration.
Spirit/Jetblue merger would not be a like-kind merger and creates a concentrated presence in the Northeast and Florida. Will not likely be approved by this administration.
Friends at Frontier and Spirit are disappointed by todays news. Friends at Spirit are horrified at the prospect of being churned into Jetblue morass.
