I believe he was canned because he blew it. He could have accepted Spirit's counter offer, but instead chose to play hardball and now someone else going to buy them.

They’re most likely already getting the green light, and the DOJ won’t object because of Spirit’s failing‑firm defenses. An official review can be completed in less than two months. Spirit is already reducing its footprint and divesting from overlapping routes, etc.

I believe he blew it and they are firing him for it. He could have had Spirit in February, but he lowballed them and now someone else is going to buy them. That's my theory.

I think you're wrong as usual.

“He” lowballed them? He is Franke’s guy, Franke makes the decision on the offer, not Biffle.

True, but I believe they failed and he is the one who is going to pay for it, not Franke. That's my theory.

And I believe you’re a troll account. Backed up by CalmCaptain troll account.

Halon is bored since he left and he’s just having fun with the spirit forum at this point

I've been right about everything so far. We are on week 13 of "we are being acquired in a few days" and here we are with having to get another $50M to avoid shutting down.

"Right about everything so far" pahahaha

Have you missed the pages and pages of people correcting you?

If you think without 50 million Spirit just shuts down the next day then I have some air in a jar that I would like to sell you.

Correcting me about what? Their differing opinion isn't "correcting me".
