I don’t see the comparison to two struggling legacy retailers. If anything that would be more like the US Airways and AA merger. Spirit frontier could be compared to dollar tree buying family dollar, which didn’t work, but I think comparing airlines to retail (that were greatly affected by Amazon) is a lazy take.
The Monthly Fee Statement of Davis Polk & Wardwell shows that they had multiple offers to review at the end of December.
The Viva and Volaris merger is just a hint that indigo and Franke are shaking things up.
Lastly does a 10% cap on credit cards interest hurt legacies enough that basic economy can’t be subsidized to the same degree? Those effects are far off (if it happens at all) but the industry is constantly changing and Franke may still think having a bigger ULCC with low CASM puts you in a position to succeed in the long run.

Again everyone here is getting lost in the weeds here. For starters, if Franke/Indigo is your knight in shining armor that should be a reality check for you. At the end of the day it’s already over stop debating over retail metaphors to relate it too. No one left to staff it leading to massive losses on top of more massive losses. Get those apps out…

I will always advise people to do things like not smoke crack….or leave a company that is about to bankrupt for one that isn’t. I will concede you are correct, unemployment is a personal decision and I was out of line.
