  1. They would have merged with Jet Blue if not for the Biden DOJ killing the deal. The Biden DOJ; their legacy besides lawfare is poor decisions that worked to eliminate choice for the American consumer.

    1. Thank goodness today’s DOJ is distracted by seeking vengeance on political enemies, and that the government is working to eliminate reporting of any economic indicators that might make our leaders sad. We’re so much better off.

    2. Because decreasing competition and increasing monopolies is what the DOJ should be allowing? Very silly take…

    3. Economic neophytes who think an airline going out of business instead of merging is good for the consumer. :-)))))))
