I think 500 million divided out over the tax payers income is like $20-30 each. I’m not justifying it, and I’m certainly not a fan of government getting involved in things of this matter. But they already got involved to block a merger. They said spirit can’t go away because it’s important to the flying public….keeping prices down, etc…complete garbage right, we all agree on that. If Spirit goes away now, it’ll be no different than if they got acquired by B6 and went away 2 years ago, the industry will adapt. I’d just assume they stay out all together, but this is a win for me, so I’m all for it. But if it doesn’t materialize I’ll be fine with that too.
