The Biden administration, at Warren’s urging, blocked the merger, saying it “would harm budget-conscious customers”:
Spirit tried to promote itself to a bigger rival, accepting a $3.8 billion provide from JetBlue after a bidding conflict in 2023. However the U.S. Justice Division sued to dam the deal, arguing that the merger would harm budget-conscious customers. A federal decide agreed and rejected the acquisition.
What about now, Sen. Warren?

Advisable
Spirit Airways died tonight by the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She should be so proud so as to add one other casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue supplied $3.8 BILLION…
