The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

barrons.com - Jetblue spirit airlines fares hike court error merger stock

"JetBlue Plans to Hike Spirit Fares by Up to 40%, Court Error Reveals. It's a Blow to the Merger's Chances."

"JetBlue Airways could raise airfares on certain routes by up to 40% if its planned merger with Spirit Airlines is approved, according to internal estimates inadvertently revealed in court filings."

lolololololol someone accidentally spilled the beans.

So on this score - I'm hoping Biden's FTC is sincere and not just grandstanding about being against anti competitive practices. One of the parties of the merger has shown its hand loud and clear.

I worry that the FTC will be given some bullcrap face saving nugget and they'll approve it.

Jet Blue just gave one of its unions a raise, and now the union coincidentally supports the merger.
