Democrats against Spirit-Frontier Merger
To Those who have been through the M&A process before, is this pretty standard from DC?

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.

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

The lawmakers, however, said “Spirit and Frontier are already the two least-liked airlines in America,” and a merger could make the customer experience worse because travelers who get mistreated would have no close alternatives among discount carriers
I mean, they aren't wrong.

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
