@g_1738_ I mean if you take terminal 3 or 4 out of context sure it looks like this.
How about look at ALL of FLLs departures instead of cherry picking certain terminals B6&NK operate in.
Then compare it as a percentage to Delta in ATL, AAL in DFW, UAL in DEN and so on
@stugats8 Can you ask your friend the lotto numbers too? That would be awesome
No one knows what Judge Young is up to in his private time and how quickly he plans to have a ruling out
@AndrewRangeley@LionelHutz_Esq Non lawyer question from the audience. Reading the DOJ brief it looks like their tried argument of narrowing the market is still their main focus. IF the judge flat out ruled to block the merger, how would this affect in industry and out of industry cases in the future?
@TheCapelessOne@ai_factcheck@LionelHutz_Esq Check question for someone better at researching legal cases than I could ever be, are there anti trust rulings where a judge has done this?
@Hollandpar91513@LionelHutz_Esq Can’t remember who but someone had that opinion. Bench trials have a level of unpredictability to them. Decisions coming down to a single person.
I’m still confident that it’ll go through, but there is a level of unpredictability to factor in.
I’ve been following the JetBlue Spirit trial since the beginning. It’s still shocking to me that the DOJ so politically motivated as to not settle this case early on. I’m certain Judge Young will approve, and plenty of DOJ time will have been wasted. Your tax dollars at work.
@AmheShay@amorechka@JamesPetch4 Judge: "But we're not going to get anywhere if you win, I enjoin this merger, and Spirit goes belly up. I need to look further out, isn't that right?"
I mean to me that’s pretty telling that he’s made up his mind. DOJ should have settled when they had the chance
@BrentHumason I feel like this comment isn’t given as much attention as it should. Young sees spirit isn’t doing great, and he sees the market is dynamic. Will it be a total slam dunk for B6? No. Will B6 win this with a couple more divestitures added? Very likely IMO
@ai_factcheck@ManForAllMkts@JabroniCapital Not sure how it’s crafted but I bet the deal goes through. Might have a more creative solution compared to past mergers, but the judge seems to have made his mind I agree. The comment about spirit going belly up is important to keep in mind here
