I've warned for months that a @JetBlue -@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.
@JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.
This is a Biden win for flyers!
Of all the unctuous arrogant obnoxious members of the Senate, Warren is the unctuous-est arrogant-est and obnoxious-est. Lie-a-wathaโฆ
Well, Miss Lizzie, not merging the two airlines will now lead to ... fewer flights and higher fares. Doh!
IQ OF A LIZARD
The market void will be filled.
... and produce the same result that a merger would have accomplished sooner and more efficiently. Government action lead to disruption and waste. Who wudda thunk it?
That dumb squaw can K.M.R.I.A.
So now we will have lower fares (zero) and fewer flights (zero).

The Lizard Anti-Defamation League is calling their lawyers.
I believe that one day there will be a special room in the Smithsonian dedicated to the videos of the people acting up / kicked off of Spirit Airline jets. There are dozens (hundreds?) of these videos.
... and produce the same result that a merger would have accomplished sooner and more efficiently. Government action lead to disruption and waste.
One of my favorite free market phrases is: Creative Destruction
If Fauxcahontas had her way, the horse shoe industry would be propped up via government intervention (as long as Lizzy received her 10%)
So Princes Gray Beaver, the Great Buffalo Spirit give you that info?
Now the fake Indian commie b*tch changes her tune cause obviously the guy in the White House has an R next to his name
First thought that comes to mind is “Stupid dumb bitch”.

In the early 2000s, Spiritโs “no-frills” model was unique. However, legacy carriers like Delta, United, and American effectively neutralized Spirit by introducing “Basic Economy” fares. Passengers could get Spirit-level prices but with the reliability, loyalty programs, and massive networks of a major airline. Spiritโs reputation for poor customer service when customers could get a similar price on a more reputable airline was going to kill them.
I think tye ULCC model is dead in the USA. This may push more people to buses
Spirit was so barebones that you didnโt know buying your share of oxygen for the journey was something you had to get before you boarded.
Didnโt you see that option when you bought your ticket or when you checked in? You could have brought your own oxygen bottle as another checked item, but now itโs too late.
Pocohauntas took a scalp
Lots of Spirit fliers are stranded.
