Cool, so we’re commies now. First US state-owned airline, and it’s Spirit.
On the other hand, no matter how freaking awful your service, management, business plan, etc… it appears it’s literally impossible to go out of business now?
The US government already gave United almost $500 million in 2002. In addition to several billion to other legacy airlines throughout the 2000’s.
If anything it’d be unfair to refuse to give spirit money when all the legacy airlines got to cash their big checks.
