Merger just got blocked: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/16/b...sultPosition=1

In his 109-page ruling, Judge William G. Young of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts sided with the Justice Department in determining that the merger would reduce competition in the airline business.
Will be interesting. Not super surprising given some of the stuff that came out in discovery and the increased emphasis on blocking mergers by the Justice Department.

If it wasn’t somewhat surprising, Spirit shares wouldn’t have tanked 50% today.

Fair enough. Then again, speculative buying has been the rage.
