The entire MEC came off like idiots and rightfully so. You never sell a sure thing or "next time". Because "next time" came around and it wasn't so good. I would love to see them try their used car salesman tactics at a legacy because they would get laughed right out of the room.
I stopped at the first sentence. It was NEVER wrapped in certainty, and they made that VERY clear during the roadshows. Nice revisionist history. The DOJ lawsuit was happening and nobody knew how that was going to shake out, but they had to proceed as if the merger was happening. Yes, if it failed we go right back to section 6, but NOBODY including yourself knew at the time the financial situation of Spirit wasn't going to turn around. So give it a rest already.
