Completely unexpected. I expect another offer from Frontier to be made if this stays.

Surely the offer from Fronier will be significantly less than what is on the table now. It might be cheaper to just buy the airplanes and make an offer to the pilots to come over.

Why would that be approved if jetblue/spirit was just shot down?

With Spirit Airlines bleeding money, do you think Spirit would now declare ch. 11 bankruptcy?

Look at the reasoning given. He did it for the customers that would lose the cheap cost option.

as a guess, the judge’s premise to shoot down the merger seemed to revolve around NK’s business model. F9 has the same one and might get past the DOJ. On the flip side the DOJ was just emboldened to attack any and every merger with this ruling.

The judges ruling talks about someone else trying to merge with Spirit...

"Indeed, the Defendant Airlines and others in the
market, in the context of the unique and dynamic market forces
of the airline industry may decide to take another run at a
merger at any time. The Government will no doubt make its
determination –- as it is duty-bound to do -- as to whether such
a proposed merger sufficiently protects competition. Of course,
while the Court always encourages parties to resolve their
differences without judicial intervention, the courthouse doors
remain open should the Defendant Airlines decide to try again"


Doesnt sound promising for the future either.
