Analyst: Major U.S. airline likely to file bankruptcy and liquidate

The judge basically said in his ruling report “this one is for you spirit customers” when shooting down the merger in favor of the DOJ. Said basically people are “entitled” to low spirit fares. Well this one’s for you. Spirit can’t operate selling tickets at the prices people expect of them anymore in the Bidenflation economy. Fuel is expensive, paying people to fly, service, throw bags, and board the airplanes is expensive. You aren’t going to make money filling up a 321 for $50 a seat with those passengers bringing trash bags filled with their luggage (I’ve seen it in Ft. Lauderdale, many times) to maybe avoid a $100 bag fee. Add to this their new fleet of NEOs, the most economically efficient narrow body in existence right now, are paper weights thanks to those junk engines. I don’t have a horse in the running, but as an airline pilot I know and feel for what the pilot group is about to endure……but congratulate the judge and the Biden DOJ. He just put a company’s entire workforce soon to be possibly on the street because he won’t let Jetblue merge with them and pushed them down the bankruptcy cliff…all in the name of people being “entitled” to cheap tickets.
