Spirit Airlines says thank you Donald Trump!

[hadit]

Peruse the thread.

I have. No one is upset that it wasn't bailed out.

 

[Moonglow]

Who? Names, we demand names.

They never did bail me out in the crash of 2008.

They never did bail me out in the crash of 2008.

And no one was upset about that either.

So it's four pages of accolades fer the Orang Felon?

 

[Moonglow]

I never ask fer one. You seem to think you're an everyman, congrats.

Boy, I'm glad we don't have any of those around, they sound scary.

 

[Moonglow]

I thought they stopped making Valium.

 

[hadit]

No, that was just an accounting error.

Spirit Airlines was denied the merger with JetBlue, the Biden DOJ opposed it, and that is what killed them; this was predicted in 2024, that if the merger was blocked, Spirit would go bankrupt.

The merger was blocked by a Reagan appointed judge.

 

[Dekster]

The Spirit/Jet Blue merger was blocked because they mostly flew the same routes and it was seen as undermining downward ticket pricing on those routes that came with Spirit being the undercutting carrier it was. That was because of their failed strategy to try to compete with the big carriers on the most expensive routes by underpricing their tickets even if they were going to take a loss on them. They failed to take into account that people are willing to pay more to not fly in Con-Air conditions rather than save $20

Former top Biden official: Garland DOJ stopping JetBlue-Spirit merger might have been mistake

"Maybe the merger would have made both Jet Blue and Spirit better? Jet Blue is a perfectly comfortable airline," Neera Tanden wrote on X

It is Massachusetts. Thus, the need for both Democrat Senators to give approval, or they simply refuse to return the blue slip.

Spirit Airlines says thank you Donald Trump!
Thank you for not having a contingency plan, if Iran was able to affect the oil market, after the US invasion.
As a result jet fuel price have increased as much as 60%. It was more than we could absorb.

So much for making a more condusive enviroment for businesses to florish. You are full of bullshit.

This chart shows why your next plane ticket will likely be way more expensive

Since the Iran war began, jet fuel prices have outpaced those of oil, doubling in price to over $220 a barrel, according to S&P Global Platts data.

Spirit Airlines shouldn't have sucked so bad.

It is Massachusetts. Thus, the need for both Democrat Senators to give approval, or they simply refuse to return the blue slip.

But let's not forget about the Reagan-appointed judge.

But let's not forget about the Reagan-appointed judge.

As I pointed out, it is Massachusetts and you must appoint who the two Democrat Senators approve. That is how it works for decades.

Bottom line: Did the Reagan appointed judge break the law or uphold the law? The government created the various anti-trust laws. Did the judge do his appointed job?

The country is suffering under Trumps oppressive gas prices

Spirit is only the first of many

^^^^^^*^^^^^^

Blamed red team for decades until it finally realized how nuts the blue team is and now pretends to be the rational middle.

He did what the Biden DOJ asked him, with prompting from Elizabeth Warren, also from Massachusetts.

Aww, poh MAGATs want the CEO fatcats to get bailed out, but not the US businesses run by us paupers.

/---/ Spirit was a lousy airline with an unworkable business model. No MAGA wants it bailed out. The merger with JetBlue was a good plan, DemocRATs killed it.
