- “The proposed merger has the potential to increase prices for customers in two ways: 1) with the elimination of Spirit from the market, consumers would no longer have Spirit’s low prices as an option; 2) with the elimination of Spirit from the market, consumers would no longer benefit from Spirit’s downward pressure on other airline’s prices.”
Then maybe the judge should provide financial support to NK?
How big is the actual risk of BK, really? Any positive trends in financials?

The judge who struck down the merger was a Reagan appointee, but yes, everything is Biden’s fault. I heard he installed the plug doors on the MAX too. Oh wait, it was DEI at Boeing that caused that, but when Trump was president and MCAS was having planes fall out of the sky, then it was just Boeing’s fault…

Looks like he did, and he was right. Couple key quotes:

- “The Defendant Airlines already have high combined market shares in numerous markets. As measured by metropolitan area, JetBlue and Spirit have 99 nonstop overlap routes; between 30% and 40% of JetBlue and Spirit’s nonstop routes overlap.“
- “The proposed merger has the potential to increase prices for customers in two ways: 1) with the elimination of Spirit from the market, consumers would no longer have Spirit’s low prices as an option; 2) with the elimination of Spirit from the market, consumers would no longer benefit from Spirit’s downward pressure on other airline’s prices.”

2. Spirit will be gone either way so that point is irrelevant.

“We see little valuation support for Spirit in the absence of a merger," J.P.Morgan equity analyst Jamie Baker said.The best-case scenario for Spirit would be a Chapter 11 filing, followed by a liquidation (Chapter 7), according to TD Cowen analyst Helane Becker.“

Hmmm yeah.....that's probably SAVE dropped -43% in the 7 minutes after the Judge made his decision. Using your logic SAVE would have been tanking since the trial. That was a great history lesson with US Steel and Standard Oil however the ruling was made by one man and one man alone not a 30 member board of senior felllows from the Harvard Law Review.
