Andrew Berry might have solidified himself as the worst GM of all time.

Losing your franchise player and DPOY for a younger guy, a 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
Here’s to a decade more of losing.
@Williams_Justin@TheAthletic Anyone thinking that Sorsby should play again in the NCAA should think again. He’s cooked. Not only did he bet on his team but he also used his friends account to make bets. At this point I hope he gets the help he needs but he’s cooked.
Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.
In additional news, Brendan Sorsby and his legal team filed a motion to dismiss today in the lawsuit that was filed against him in February by the University of Cincinnati, which is seeking $1 million in liquidated damages for a breach of contract by the college quarterback.
@tnelburner We got “high” recruits in the Wesley era who couldn’t mesh wel or played one side of the ball. He’s getting guys that fit his system. I’d rather have 10 guys who play high in bball than what we had the last 5 yrs.
One of my neighbors kid went to trade school for HVAC at 18.
His parents were embarrassed because everyone around us, college is the only option promoted.
He spent $6k and started at $65k while his friends were still in school.
At 25 he got his contractor license. At 27 he opened his own shop.
Last year his company did $2.1 million in revenue with 3 trucks. His friends just started to pay off their student loans.
Now, my neighbors cant stop bragging about their son who also is our neighborhood HVAC tech.
Day 96 tagging @mikeroweworks to let everyone know that we need more kids like this.
