If the government has a vested interest in Airline A, but not in Airlines B and C, which one do you think is going to have a (possibly illegal) competitive advantage?

Every airline without a sugar daddy would be subjected to government sandbagging.

Every airline employee that doesn’t work at spirit ought to be vehemently opposed to this harebrained idea. Especially those at Spirit’s direct competitors.

Also, turning Spirit into the next Amtrak or Postal Service is not going to be good for its employees.

Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren agree it’s a bad idea. That’s remarkable.
