senator cruz and Warren agree on something but for very different reasons.

some of us remember which one of them opposed the merger though.

The article has a paywall, but the headline is interesting.

There it is. I knew that was coming. No, no one hates Spirit and wants it to die. 500M bailout with taxpayer dollars is absolute BS. NK C suite has proved they can’t fix this and the airline doesn't deserve to continue unless it can become profitable. If you don’t have a back up plan by now that’s on you at this point. That’s not lacking empathy that’s called reality.

This industry has allowed merger after merger to create the landscape we have today. Spirit got in a position to be sold and the government f’ed it up. So forgive me for not caring what newt Gingrich has to say.

To pretend that this industry is free market or adheres to a capitalistic philosophy is pretty messed up. The government has ALWAYS had a very heavy hand in the commercial aviation industry.

You are so right! No one was gripping when Spirit got **** blocked. If the Fed Govt really thinks Spirit matters, which they clearly do, they waisted tax payer dollars to block the merger because how important Spirit was then, despite the airline loosing money…….and now it’s time to deal with the consequences and put your money where your mouth is. Which is what DT is doing.
