Democrats against Spirit-Frontier Merger
 

To Those who have been through the M&A process before, is this pretty standard from DC?

I haven't been through it, but I remember this during every merger. Well, maybe not with RAH and F9.

I wouldn’t worry too much about a letter signed by a “who’s who” list of some of the most worthless, unserious, buffoonish politicians in Washington. I doubt even the DC bureaucratic swamp even takes these morons seriously.

where’s the “like” button?

The letter that this article is talking about doesn't really mean anything. It's a group of senators asking the DOJ/DOT to review the merger to see if it's going to be bad for consumers and raise prices.

Letter aside, you guys have to know that there is a chance this merger does get blocked. The Gov't blocked AA & JetBlues NE alliance. They could block ours too.

It's up to our management teams to convince DC that they aren't going to raise ticket fares

People don't read the article or letter. They see the left is bad or the right is bad, and pile on about it with ad hominem attacks.



I mean, they aren't wrong.

I mean…. When you spearhead a committee on economic policy with Bernie, Lizzie, and Alex, how can you possibly go wrong?

And it’s not the end of the world if it were to be blocked. It’s not as if we are a sinking ship and need a life line.
This may be the first merger that pilots are actively routing for…

The DOJ didn’t block the AA/JB northeast alliance, as it is in full swing right now. They’re suing to block it in court, which will take years to come to a conclusion if it’s not settled first. Big difference.

Yes, you are right. I didn't explain that well. However, the fact that the administration is trying to block the alliance doesn't bode well for our merger
