“There was a proposed merger between JetBlue and Spirit, and Joe Biden and [former Transportation Secretary] Pete Buttigieg, together with the Biden DOJ, determined that they didn’t need that merger to happen. And on the time, the Biden and Buttigieg DOJ bragged and stated as they canceled the choice for this merger, that this was a victory for US vacationers who deserve decrease costs and higher decisions,” Duffy stated throughout a information convention on Saturday.
“And this at the moment would point out this isn’t higher for vacationers, this isn’t higher for pricing, this isn’t higher for competitors, really it’s worse. We had an airline go down as a result of the markets had been attempting to permit two airways to merge, make them stronger, and supply extra competitors for the American shopper,” he continued.

Effectively, the Trump Administration continues to imagine the American folks (exterior of the brainwashed MAGA supporters) are silly as a result of instantly, folks didn’t waste a second reminding folks why the merger was nixed, a Ronald Reagan appointed choose was the one who stated nah to the proposal, the corporate didn’t deal with it’s funds properly and that Spirit’s CEO blamed the corporate’s closure on Trump’s struggle.
Even Elizabeth Warren clapped again at Duffy and the Trump Administration for the dearth of accountability on the matter.
