      RIP. Say what you will but when I used them I was really happy they were available

    2. TF is this. This only makes sense if the merger failing directly caused the company to fail. I dont see how that makes sense. In fact if you google it, it isnt Warren’s fault but the Trump admin for not bailing them out to the tune of $500m dollars.

      I think this is a great example that mergers aren’t inherently evil.

      Went bankrupt because of fuel prices

      Interesting that the admin didn’t bail them out here when they caused the problem,

      don’t know what logic would cause them to bail out Argentina over an American airline

      Probably revalue airlines on the edge down for bankruptcy risk

    5. In hindsight, the merger would’ve saved Spirit.

      We’re still going to have higher prices because of the oil situation and now airlines trying to mark-up prices… even frontier and Southwest.

      This marks the start of the end of the ultra low cost era in flying.
