      > The Trump administration is nearing a rescue deal for Spirit Airlines, people familiar with the matter said.

      > Under the agreement being discussed, the U.S. government would loan the embattled discount carrier as much as $500 million, receiving in return warrants to take a potential significant stake in Spirit, the people said.

      Stock up by 30%. Corruption at its finest…Why are we bailing out private airlines who was badly run and don’t even allow a free carryon lol?

      Next week they will rename to TrumpSpirit airlines and make DonJr or Eric as their CEO

      Nothing says America First like bailing out an airline that is rocking the Airbus A320 family.

      Just started my first AI Plane company I’m seeking both funding at a valuation of 1 gorillian dollars and also immediate government bailout of 2 gorillian dollars. IPO will be bananas

      Let it crash. They suck and we don’t need ‘Muricans flying to Sarasota from Fort Wayne for $68 so they can go to SPAMCon.

    6. So does this set precedence for future corporate bailouts? Apparently, the threshold for importance to the integrity of the economy or domestic industry nearly vanished.
