I hate to think it’s most likely go bust or…….go bust. Not sure there’s any other way out of this.
Can you explain how being in an agreement for a JetBlue merger stopped management from figuring out how to make money? Nothing in that deal should’ve prevented them from running a profitable airline in the the interim. In fact JetBlue would want us to be as profitable as possible because it makes the value of what they bought that much higher.
They haven’t made money since 2019 because they failed to adapt and took our customers for granted and watched their contractors and employees treat people like garbage with zero repercussions. It was incompetence not any kind of pause from a pending merger. Now we all suffer the consequences.
