Kirby was WRONG!

Frontier buying Spirit is a quick way to run Frontier into BK too. Frontier is trying to keep their own house in order. Also, don’t think government will bail out NK because there is no business plan and the government can’t show favoritism to one airline over the others.

The fact that the mega mergers were allowed and B6/NK was stopped is literally laughable. Clayton Act should have been argued on HA/AK merger - why wasn’t it? If just one market will see consumers harmed, it should be have been stopped.
Nvm. I’m gonna get wound up. It’s ridiculous though.

Maybe the feds can't help, but Trump make a personal investment in the airline as a show of ?xxx?. With the name comes clout and something good come out of it? Nothing is out of the question with him.

It would be something if Trump saved Spirit after Biden tried to ruin them.

I don’t think the GOV will want to fund a loan (which will never be paid back) for a business plan that does not work. ULCC is a failure and won’t work in the US.

NK shed a bunch of debt and still can’t make money. There is no plan in place, just talk. The BK court won’t even let them out of BK because of this. Oil is hurting, for sure, but even if oil was down, NK has no plan to make money. Their ONLY plan is to get bought. No takers. Maybe Frontier today? My guess is no.
