Thanks Bud. I thought the Government sued to block, claiming Spirit Airlines was essential. I guess the 2 years of being dragged out in limbo didn’t happen.

Spent a decade at NK. Great group of pilots and loved my time there but I have to admit so many pilots b’d and moaned about liberals, government handouts and big government. Yet here we are. 90% anti what’s happening now. I’m trying to say this as politely as possible because I really do wish Spirit the best but it’s very ironic considering the optics of the labor groups hoping for outright socialism from the orange man himself, the savior. All for me none for the.

This isn't excellent news for employees. Spirit has a $450M DIP financing payback due July 14th. This $500M will be gone by July because they are going to pay the creditors with the money. Its not going ot help the business.

Also its not finalized. Its been highly objected to by almost every member of Congress. There will be will a ton of pressure on the Administration to not go ahead with a deal. I don't believe its going to happen, ultimately.

Are you saying that when Judge Young ruled to block the merger, that he didn't, in fact, block the merger? It was more that he was just doing jetBlue a solid in there attempt to "Sandbag"? It's not too late to delete this and save face.

Plenty of A**holes apparently happy to load the shells for them though.

266 million tax filings in 2024. $2 per filing. I don't know you, by I'm assuming you used to work there. I'm assuming you still know people that work there, maybe even still have friends there. I'm assuming that working there was beneficial to you, both financially and career improvement. $2?? Pretty petty dude.
