Seems like the only people that don’t want B6 are MCO captains. Makes perfect sense why. Most everybody else I’ve flown with wants B6.

Heard just the opposite, most rather stay spirit but overwhelmingly rather B6 than F9

Yeah, I heard the vanguard manager was spending hours each day on these forums, basing his $200mil interest in Spirit, and how he votes, on what Halon and BlueDriver think.

Yep. Your answer will depend on the seniority, seat and base of the person you're talking to.

The public letter sent by Tig Investments to the Spirit board which basically embarrassed Spirit to no end is sure how the remaining top ten feel as well.

Ted Christie has munged some other companies in the past and if the Spirit board hasn’t read the room at this point in the process they need to be sure and preserve all records so their case study of M and A will be a grad school delight for years to come.

I think bluedriver is a bot. No one loves their company that much. Especially people on APC😂

Tig investments didn’t even buy shares until after the jet blue offer was announced. They are a merger arbitrage investor, trying to make money on the difference between current share price and offer price. The spirit board couldn’t care less about their letter.

I think if the other large shareholders didn't have the same sentiment as TIG then they wouldn't have delayed the vote 3 times now...
