Thank you, Biden Administration.....ref. the airlines...

I had a 2 day trip to a wedding Atlanta that got extended because of the fallout from a hurricane in Florida a few years back. My experience with Spirit through the ordeal led me to pray consistently for that company’s full and complete demise. And to always be willing to pay the greater cost for a different airline.

Why did he do this? Makes no sense.

Limiting air travel is in the top five goals of the WEF. There is an active plan to ruin commercial air carrier access for the general public. Quotas and rationing has been discussed. Something like one air travel event every three years was the latest. Also justification for your access.

Of course those goals do not apply to WEF faithful, bureaucrats, and politicians. They use private charters.

Spirit is a for-profit socialist bureaucracy on steroids. The employees and company culture operate no differently than a TSA or FEMA drone.

Well, anyone that flies a lot has had terrible experiences with airline travel—any airline.

I understand. I was not exactly a big fan of Spirit, but I can’t help but think a merger with a better company, JetBlue, would have upped the game there for Spirit’s employees.

I personally know one of their pilots, from over 12 years of service. He likes the company and is a former military pilot.

My wife and I prefer all other airlines, but were pleasantly surprised when we got to try their new seats, which were better than we had expected.

Still, I don’t like how they nickel and dime you and other airlines all have better feeling cushions than even the new seats we had.

I don’t want them to fail. I know others who like Spirit and are willing to put up with their hassles.

[ConservativeMind]

I quite like JetBlue.

[volare737]

That’s why the combination would have been a good thing. JetBlue would have fixed many of the problems Spirit had.

[mewzilla]

Sure it does.

Deep State hates competition.

[Theoria]

Hard to find a worse airline than Spirit. The markets have spoken.

[DarrellZero]

I’ve always been a cheapskate when it comes to air travel, but there’s no way I’m ever flying Spirit again. I’d rather drive.

[volare737]

I understand the complaints, but the result is:

lost jobs,
fewer available airline seats,
less competition,
higher ticket prices.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

So true. I did not have a good impression of Spirit’s founder either.

[dfwgator]

I rode on Spirit once.....Once!

[dfwgator]

I call it Ghetto Airlines.

WTH is wrong with you?

Do you not remember the Boeing/McDonnell Douglas merger?

The government is not omnipotent and I don’t care to have MY tax dollars support a later bailout for lousy business practices.

Translated: You support the Kroger:Albertsons merger, too.

Unbelievable. NOT “Conservative” at all.

[volare737]

Ridiculous comment and analogy. Neither BA or MCD was in danger of bankruptcy. Neither Kroger or Albertsons was in danger of bankruptcy. Your post makes no sense at all.

Based on your original post, that‘s about what I expected, lol.

Have a nice day.
