^^^^^ this was your post (post #179)

so yes you did suggest it. You are suggesting because it happened only 41 years ago that it can’t happen again.

if not then explain what you meant by “yeah 41 years ago”

You all are acting like we won't immediately go back to the original deal with Frontier before the judge's gavel strikes that thing that gavels strike. Frontierit will wither and die at least 5 xtimes slower than standalone Spirit would, thereby ensuring most of us will have some semblence of a job for 10 years or more, provided we chose to ride it out.

that match up may last longer than a combined JB/NK which apparently at date of approval will put them (us) in a severely distressed financial position. Either way AA has always been like $40,000,000,000.00 in debt so as long as we are “too big too fail” We should all be happy

Never going to get a single dime out of that group and the model is flawed at size in this country. May as well punch out the day that’s announced.

Notwithstanding the blatant hypocrisy of the DOJ approving a frontier/spirit and not a JetBlue/spirit.

how would it be hypocrisy? they are attempting to block a merger that would admittedly(by jblu) raise ticket prices significantly VS one that probably wouldnt raise them for the consumers

If you were a straight A student with a degree. Have a solid work history outside aviation, no checkride failures, earned your ratings in reasonable hours and 500 of that 1500 is turbine you might have a shot.

One of the governments main arguments is that on the few routes remaining that JB and NK compete on there will be a reduction of competition as NK is removed from the market. JB and NK compete on less than 10% of their routes.

On the other hand, NK and F9 compete on nearly 50% of their routes.

When like business models merge the point is to reduce competition with one another, increase market share, and get more pricing power over the consumer, among other benefits. All of that means less competition (on a much larger scale than the JB+NK merger) and higher prices. NK and F9 are both seeing margin pressures from the demand side, make no mistake they would use the merger to raise prices in the markets that are consolidated.

Also, if you were following the trial, you would not say this. But I get it, you need it to be correct so you can make your comparison.
