So I don’t get this. The vote closed last night at 5pm. So they retroactively cancelled the votes based off the results… after the voting period ended? How in the world is that even allowed? Hoax!

Spirit is not going to take a deal from JB. They'll run back to Frontier for more money and see if they can try again. What is most transparent about this is if they don't think the JB deal would go through, and you pull out if the merger with Frontier, why wouldn't you at least attempt to get the JB deal through with all the incintives that JB is offering should the deal be denied? Perhaps this is just posturing to get shareholders to vote the way they want, perhaps Ted means this litteraly. Either way, I reiterate, this deal is not for the shareholders, is for the executives of NK/F9.
Yeah because if JBLU offers Ted $12mil for a deal he will turn it down 🙄

Ted has to say it’s Frontier or bust, until it’s not on the table, and then the Board will have to pivot once investors come knocking. It’s not like the investment community is going to forget about the almost 50% premium over current SAVE price. The question is, does the investment community want JBLU to acquire SAVE instead of SAVE remaining independent?

Too much assumption that the shareholders are ready to hand over their shares to JBLU. All that has been established is that they don’t want to approve a Frontier deal at the current numbers

Good take. I'm of the mindset in a down market and potential impending recession that shareholders want cash. But I genuinely have no idea anymore.

Yes I recall Ted saying until the deal was approved that they would have to continue to run the airline as an independent airline. But we've seen little to no moves in any of the critical issues the company is facing. They have abandoned any effort to attract and retain pilots (unless you count Australians), no big moves on improving I.T., no improving of operations, it seems they've doubled down on being a cheap as possible and to punting our problems away until the merger is completed.

If you are 27 you should be worried about getting and interview with the big 3 and forget this stuff.

PS even if he was 51 he still wouldn’t be a boomer. (You know what that is right?)Smdh

Boomer#2 has entered the chat. No surprise there🙄
