with all due respect, the Government has and will do whatever they want, lol

He’s right.

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.

Which airline from back then didn't? That's like those who like to say his Casino went bankrupt while neglecting to mention the fact that every casino in Atlantic city did the same.

Spirit's dead. Over. Done for and gone.
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.
