It's not about the employees. Not for taxpayer dollars.

Some articles now saying that Delta badly price gouging MSP after NK exited may end up being one of the deciding factors in this.

I don't have any problem with DD getting paid well. He was brought in after the ship was already fully on fire. How do you attract talent to a sinking ship? You have to pay up. You also can't blame him for the negative things that have happened since (shrinking fleet and bases). He has got to do what he has got to do to get the patient stabilized.

Ted is the real story. Millions in bonuses year after year as we lost billions. Where was the board?

"Spirit ended its last two routes at the Minneapolis St. Paul International Airport in December 2025. Both routes — St. Paul to Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport and St. Paul to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — involved Delta hubs. Within days, Delta raised fares, in some cases by as much as 50%."

Well, the plan would be to burn through taxpayer cash until Citadel calls the note.
