Don't get more wrong I think if approved ,the new company will be a pretty light shade of green as their will be more yellow in that blue than we think.
The other irony is a few years ago they were looking at mandating a minimum seat pitch. But now all of a sudden NK is the "savior" of the industry? They need to pick a street.

exactly. Just a week or two ago “Biden” tweeted this…


Cracking down on junk fees is about transparency, which leads to more competition, brings down costs for working Americans, and keeps growing our economy from the bottom up and the middle out, not the top down.

And yet they oppose removing the original American junk fee airline.

Dear God, what does this even mean? If we can't even understand the principle behind a policy, how can anyone possibly support it, short of rank partisan politics?

And yeah, it's rich that they are both supporting the ULCC model and attacking junk fees. It's almost as though they have no governing principles other than what sounds good at the moment.

Because they are anti merger and pro union, unless that union doesn’t fall in lock step and support all their party’s candidates. Have a look at the complaint filed by the justice department on their website, the associate attorney general bringing the lawsuit was with the ACLU and made her career on the woke agenda, not anti-trust.
