Jet blue partially hubs out of Boston and the new airline would have likely hubbed primarily out of Detroit

Which is why Warren likely got involved

Frontier Jet blue and Allegiant will have to merge or they will end up like spirit

Great chief smile. Win for flyers she say.

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares.@JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation.

This is a Biden win for flyers! https://t.co/lJFGS3ucv3

This didn't age well. I hope she's getting slammed on X for this.

She is, and she's blaming a Reagan appointed judge as she puts it for blocking the merger.

Dems loved this, now Pocahontas is blaming trump.

So a federal count just blocked a merger between JetBlue and Spirit Air, at the request of the Biden Administration.

Give me 3 minutes to explain why this is such a big deal, and why it's part of a bigger strategy to finally return power to regular people. pic.twitter.com/P6XQhOEQhg

Spiking fuel prices from Trump’s war was the nail in the coffin for twice-bankrupted Spirit airline.

FWIW, JetBlue merger failed because a judge, appointed by Ronald Reagan, said the deal was illegal.

Republicans are desperate to shift blame from higher costs hitting families.

Spirit has 7k employees, not 17k. The pilots union pulled that number out of their arse.

It doesn't matter who the judge was or who appointed the judge when you agree with and are celebrating the decision!

Pocahontas is your average politician, refusing to take accountability for their own decisions while simultaneously blaming someone else (typically someone from the other party).

This GIF sums up her spiking the ball and now having to deal with the consequences!

People are somehow able to stand up in 400-500 mph headwinds at 10k+ feet in an open roofed jet.

Also passenger jets don't have four legged chairs like you would find in your home.

It's totally not realistic.

Marco Rubio was ready to single-handedly save Spirit, too. Bummer, never got the chance.

LMFAO 🤣 Marco Rubio finding out he has to run Spirit Airlines. This is an absolute masterpiece 😂

And look at those fore and aft doors. None of those people are getting through those tiny doors. I guess they can just hop through the cavernous open sided part?

Whole thing is physically impossible.
