Ridiculous
There is usually the straw that breaks the camels back. Maybe the judge also considered Spirit ALPAs opposition to the merger. We will never know. Probably not a big factor, but again, we will never know.
You can think that is ridiculous, but let me ask you this. If labors endorsement of the merger makes no difference, and has no affect, why did the CEO ask for the public support, and why did the Spirit MEC think they could extract value by withholding the endorsement?
