jetblue was doing well and reinventing the industry and the industry adapted. Today, LCC’s and ULCC’s have failed to adapt and the big 3 continue to do so. When do the hand outs stop? Spirit has good people and one of the worst products in history? Can the collective state saving the flying octagon is good for the industry? 500 million delays Ch. 33 for spirit. At some point they have to charge prices that actually cover costs of operating.
