You can only blame the govt for so much. Ultimately, Spirit lost money since 2020 with no end in sight. Millions and millions in management bonuses and nothing to show for it. They even said a standalone Spirit is viable.
A tax-payer funded bailout is a dangerous precedent. Then any LCC carrier with bad management will claim victim status and ask for a bailout.
