And B6 is saying "Shhh pay no attention to the white claw drinkers who will be unable to get on a flight for 17$, look at the industry as a whole".
Essentially an apple to oranges argument. Most of the DOJs energy seemed to be spent on looking at the Spirit CEOS comments from the previous years so far. I would say B6 is winning, but its hard to say from a tweet summary lol.
To preface this, I am a dumb uneducated airbus driver who knows absolutely nothing about the law so please feel free to completely ignore me, or to tell me to shut up.
Unfortunately no play by play summary today, which I was really enjoying.

no reason - but you said someone could tell you so I thought I would jump on the opportunity. Haha
really tho - I agree - the tweets have been at least entertaining. Guess we all need to do a healing dance so David can feel better and return tomorrow.
Side note - a friend of mine and I were talking about David’s lack of presence in the quart room today due to being sick. My friend says, suspicious, doesn’t he have a T? Maybe the DOJ put him under house arrest so he couldn’t report on their silly points that they are making. 😂 let tue conspiracy theories begin.

The NEA helps his argument by saying “yes, I thought it was a hard battle for DOJ approval when there was still an NEA in play, that’s gone now”.

I think at this point it comes down to which side better lays out the financials and market impacts of the three possible scenarios: the airlines don’t merger, they merge and become a successful legacy competitor, or they merge and are ineffectual while leaving a gap in the ULCC market.

Real journalists aren't allowed to report, but somehow a blogger is tweeting out a play by play blatantly under his own name?
My speculation - I doubt he'll be back. That's not conspiracy thinking at all. He broke the rules, got caught and got asked to leave. I'm surprised he did it for 2 days, tbh. That being said, I appreciated the fact that he did it, but we all can agree that it was against the rules.

Rules vary considerably on tweeting a court case. Where did you see that it was against the rules to tweet it out?
