Airlines for America President Chris Sununu said the collapse of Spirit Airlines underscores the consequences of the Biden administration’s decision to block a proposed merger with JetBlue, calling the failed deal a missed opportunity to stabilize the struggling carrier.

and fake ass Indian Warren made such a big deal about it at the time demanding that no such merger take place..now of course she screams from her teepee that its Trump’s fault over the Iran war..while this airline has been in trouble for YEARS
Yep. I wish we could get rid of her and about a dozen other dems that make life just miserable for the American citizen while they live in the lap of luxury.
Yep then they rush to the TV to of course blame Trump, if your butt itches just blame Trump for that too
Not enough money going into the right pockets ...
Merger denied
Warren is one of the worst senators. She is dumb and bought and paid for by wall street.
Every thing bad? Trumps fault
Everything good? Democrats did that
That’s how they operate.
And I would bet at least one major airline that sees more money in flights/airports Spirit Airlines used to service
And I bet they do it with old spirit planes
And she’s paid for by big pharma, want to know why she promotes the vaccines she probably herself has NEVER had injected into herself, for the MONEY of course
They might still be around, but their business was crap. Non standard routes at a discount……???? Not a good model.
“Yep. I wish we could get rid of her and about a dozen other dems that make life just miserable for the American citizen while they live in the lap of luxury.”
Getting rid of the Democrats in government would be like trying to evacuate the air from your house by capping a Mason jar and walking it outside and opening the lid. There is an infinite supply of horrible politicians. The interesting thing is that twenty-plus years ago they were competent, normal people. Now we have the vapid AOC and Ilhan Omar who thinks we had a World Ware eleven. It reminds me of “Ideocracy” where politicians got into office by winning a lottery.
Actually, a lottery would give us substantially smarter politicians.
Am I being paranoid when I suspect it wasn’t just a question of leftism, but also of insider trading?
I think that’s kind of brilliant of you to think of. I bet somebody else thought of it and yep, it made a few bucks for someone.
Maybe Warren?
Warren is just awful. She is the biggest proponent of big banks screwing customers. She blocks every effort for finance change on behalf of big banks. Would not surprise me that some group paid her to block this one.
Allegiant and Southwest will fill the vacuum. It’ll take a while for the crew roster to find their place at either airline, or some other. It’s a shame, though, the Jet Blue deal didn’t go through.
Maybe Jet Blue will get the planes and routes, after all.
Jet Blues is having problems now. I don’t think it would have helped if both merged together. If they merged at that time, the combined company would go down.
Biden has been gone for 14 months. The excuse is a bit of a stretch.
