They sucked but they survived under a Biden Presidency. Jet fuel prices going up 50% is unheard of. It was caused by poor planning by Donald Trump.
A man who has poorly planned himself through 6 bankruptcies.
Spirit Airlines says thank you Donald Trump!

Spirit survived the merger not going through but they did not survive Trump's lack of planning of what could happen if he invaded Iran.

If only Trump would have had contingency plans if Iran tried to block the strais of Hormus. It was a known possibility.
Big man Trump said this will be over in a few days. The people will take over the country. He had his head up his ass. He ignored his advisers and listened to Netanyahu.

Not your ass kissing bullshit again.
Multiple bankruptcies among “successful” people are rare
- It’s not unheard of for entrepreneurs to fail more than once—but:
- 2–3 failures might happen in high-risk industries.
- 6 separate bankruptcies tied to one person is extremely unusual and not representative of typical success stories.
- Many famous entrepreneurs (e.g., Steve Jobs, Elon Musk) had major failures—but not repeated bankruptcies.

You have no idea how capitalism should work.
Capitalism is an economic system based on private ownership of the means of production (factories, mines, businesses) and their operation for profit. It is characterized by market-driven prices, competition, and voluntary exchange. Key elements include capital accumulation, wage labor, and minimal government intervention in voluntary transaction.
Capitalism does not have tariffs.
Capitalism does not have government ownership of business like Trump has done with intel.
Capitalism does not include incompetent governemnt leadership that interfers with the free market. Smart leaders would have had a contingency plan if Iran affected oil supplies, lessening the burden on the free market.
You are a pathetic excuse maker for Trump who has increased government involvement with citizens lives and businesses.
Trump and MAGA are fake conservatives.
Trump flushed conservative family values down the toilet.

They survived that, you buffon. But not Trump's incompetency. He has hurt many businesses. That is why the USeconmic numbers are down.
You are beyond a buffon.

Airlines are always the leading indicator of trouble. When I first started banking American was one of our clients. They were always going in and out a bankruptcy with every business cycle.
/—-/ 6 failures in Atlantic City that was collateral because of new casinos—- let’s do the math. 1.2% failure rate.
/——/
Since 2020, Spirit Airlines has faced significant financial challenges, including filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy twice, first in November 2024 and again in August 2025, with reported losses exceeding $2.5 billion since the start of the pandemic. In 2024, the airline's revenue was approximately $4.91 billion, a decrease from $5.36 billion in 2023.

They were on very shaky ground but they survived it all until jet fuel prices went up 50%./——/

They were incompetent but what took them out was the incompetence of Donald Trump.
Trump's incompetency is well documented through 6 bankruptcies.
/—-/ If democRATs didn’t block the merger, they never would have shut down. I bet you stood up and cheered when Pocahontas and Buttplug killed the deal.

Trump has had many business failures besides the bankruptcies.
Examples of non-bankruptcy failures
Here are some widely cited ones tied to Donald Trump:Consumer / retail ventures
- Trump Steaks → short-lived, poor sales
- Trump Vodka → discontinued
- Trump Ice → largely disappeared
- GoTrump.com → shut down
Media / marketing ventures
- Trump Magazine → folded
- Trump Mortgage → collapsed during housing downturn
Education / services
- Trump University → shut down after lawsuits and settlements
Gaming / other
- Trump Shuttle → failed (not a bankruptcy under his name personally)
- Trump: The Game → poor initial sales (later reissued)
Trump is a con man who takes advantage of stupid people like all con men/women.

Do you know why the merger was turned down?
/—-/ Trump licenses his name to companies. He was paid. He wasn’t part of that business. If the product failed it’d not on him.
Learn how licensing works so you don’t look like a complete fool.

It was blocked by judge William Young, a Reagan appointee. Blocked due to antitrust violations.

Four airlines have about 80% of air travel. The Spirit/Jet Blue would have had about 9%.
Try again
/——/ You keep running that bullshyt. BTW, just because he’s appointed by Reagan doesn’t guarantee his decisions 40 years in the future.
