This whole expansion in FLL has been announced last year, same routes that were supposed to go live first half of this year, such as the ones in South America. Which were then recently said they weren’t doing due to aircraft availability.

This is all rebranded to make it seem like they’re so aggressive and taking action, nothing but a used car salesman tactic and taking from Peter to pay Paul.

Well it will be unless we start turning a profit. Maybe the reduced capacity will help a little but it probably won’t be enough to generate full year profit. Something substantial needs to happen.

Even investors are shrugging this off… we’re selling off again.

Clearly the investment community does not see Spirit ceasing operations as much of a boon to JetBlues bottom line.

Of course it sold off during the afternoon hours. The ceasefire is on shaky ground. No amount of tailwinds from an increased presence in FLL can overcome that.

Oil is down about 4% today, what’s your point? Everything is extremely volatile, I’m sure you know that. Frontier, who’s the main beneficiary of Spirit, was up 8% during the early trading hours yesterday over the news but dropped as the day continued with more concern over Iran. It is what it is.

Why are people so fixated on the stock price? If you’re looking for emotional security, you won’t find it on Wall Street.

Unless a large part of your portfolio is JBLU forget about the stock and worry about things that affect the bottom line. Oil, on time performance, demand and private credit environment, etc.

The stock is a reflection of how ****tily the bottom line is being handled.
