JetBlue had two deals: one with American, giving them more slots to expand in New York, and one with Spirit, giving them the planes and pilots to fill those slots.
The Biden DOJ blocked both of them, first claiming that the American deal was bad because JetBlue was a market disruptor... and then claiming that the Spirit deal was bad because JetBlue was a market monopolist.
And now Spirit is gone, leaving consumers with fewer choices.
This is the inevitable result when the government meddles in the market: consumers suffer.
A good reminder that Warren is almost always wrong.
Warren celebrated the Biden admin effort to block the Jet Blue-Spirit merger. Now Spirit is likely to shut down, resulting in fewer flights and higher fares, the very thing she claimed the effort was preventing.
Here's Biden Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg bragging about blocking the Spirit Airlines merger with JetBlue that would have saved the airline from bankruptcy. I don't think America has ever had a more incompetent Secretary of Transportation than Mayor Pete.
