  1. If frontier and spirit merged there would have been no direct competitor, now you still have frontier vs spirit, and jetblue gets their lax spots, so this is really a win. If frontier and spirit joined they would have been able to raise their prices closer to the big guys, but now they can't

  2. Great! Two very ghetto airlines certainly deserve each other.

  3. Maria is bad medicine…
    And I need it ๐Ÿ’ฏ๐Ÿ‘€โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž

  4. Brother I support the growth I'm all in that's boss class Yes sir โ˜€๏ธโญ๐ŸคŒ

  5. ahahaha the worlds 2 worst airlines finally break up…shame

  6. At least I would say the CEO did the right thing by openly coming out and politely explaining the situation, and also affirming their desire and drive to move forward building consumer confidence. wether or not they deliver on this stance is yet to be seen, but it's better than an angry negative response, we don't need anymore of that. the market will tell soon enough.

  7. Speaking of planes. If the Democrats like spending money. How about investing money towards electric driven planes. Now that would be an achievement.

  8. Funny how ticket prices rise when fuel prices rise but ticket prices never drop when fuel prices drop.
    Airlines are crooks.

  9. Good! Frontier is a rip-off I know and part of Air India. Try and get a refund from Frontier you cannot or call them

  10. Flying is a thing of the past.

  11. They voted against your vision and leadership. Period the end

  12. โœˆ๏ธ๐Ÿ›ธ๐Ÿš€๐Ÿ˜ตโ€๐Ÿ’ซ๐Ÿ‘ฝ๐Ÿซฃ

  13. I flew from Ohio to Phoenix 3 years ago. Worst flight of my life! Teeny-tiny seats. 6 hours of torture!!! I worked for Piedmont Airlines, wish they were still here!

  14. SUPER INFLATION IS THE GOAL SOON TO BE ACHIEVED! HOW LONG UNTIL AMERICANS SEE THAT A GLOBAL TAKEOVER IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW? THE GREAT RESET IS A GLOBAL TAKEOVER AS YOU CAN SEE OTHER COUNTRIES WERE MADE COMMUNISTS THAT WERE DEMOCRACIES. WW III IS SO DIFFERENT TYPE OF WAR FEW RECOGNIZE THAT COVID WAS THE WEAPON CHINA LAUNCHED.

  15. Deregulation is working so well

  16. Lets be honest, Frontier and spririt are the absolute worst when it comes to cancelled flights, no loss for us.

  17. Frontier is the worst airlineโ€ฆ they really suck.

  18. It's much better for Jet Blue becuase of Gates available at areas… it's not a loss for consumers it's actually a gain for consumers and Frontier sucks anyhow.. spirit wont a suck as bad as Frontier anymore becuase Jet Blue is not super low cost airline… they buying them for access…this opens up western gates for Jet Blue.. this guy is just sour grapes… Fornicate Frontier

  19. I wonder if these Rich government officials get to right off there Jet fuel on there private planes

  20. Cant have cheap airlines providing inexpensive travel when they intend to ration how much travel the masses can undertake

  21. Description says million not billion

  22. THE WORAW TWO AIRLINES IN THE WORLD…..SPIRIT AND FRONTIER ARE ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  23. Frontier is crapiest airline I've ever encountered.

  24. well now I know why Frontier is so bad. Thanks for stealing my money!

  25. a bad airline buying a worse one

  26. They'll go up the airlines will consolidate where there's only a couple of them maybe a few and then they can charge whatever they want it's going to happen with all the businesses

  27. The Market has been pretty bad until today it decided to surge. Everybody was Practically Crying then. It kept dipping. That's what you get when you feel you can navigate the process on your own. Big thank to Alexis caballero. I'm not bothered with how bad the Market is because my assests are insured due to her advice and I still receive my profits

  28. Glory & victory Russia China ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ

  29. where do you stand on ESG?? And you can't just before or against it you got to be willing to fight against it!!!

  30. I won't have to worry about it I'll never fight again after they forced everyone to put, masked, diapers, BURKAS on their faces. . And then talking about backs passports and the lies about all the flight delays oh it's weather. Then yeah flying illegal law breaking trespassing intruders. Which I don't blame a lot of these people but fact of the matter is. If you turn around and try and do it right think about letting you in. If you stay and we got to catch you. You don't stand a chance!

  31. Fine the airlines so that they can increase fares in order to pay the fines. Yeah, that's a solution.

  32. 25 years in the airline industry.. making profit is the equivalent to finding a unicorn farting gold sparkles.. this CEO is more slimey then a NYC slumlord. Trying to make operating cost just off the ticket price is impractical and then turning a profit with extortion fees for basic services.NOT ACCEPTABLE. . most aircraft have a basic operating cost based on max weight . carry on bages should be limited in size only.. checked baggage should be charged by wieght .. I could go on and on .. but this CEO got a big blue helmet shoved right up his backside..

  33. What is wrong with this broads lips? And does she ever spit the marshmallows out her mouth? ๐Ÿคฃ

  34. Who cares, just another flyby night business that is trouble…. ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜„ ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿคซ ๐Ÿค— ๐Ÿ™„ ๐Ÿ˜’ ๐Ÿ˜… ๐Ÿ˜†

  35. .Deus pรกtria famรญlia liberdade
    Bolsonaro o melhor presidente do Brasil e do mundo inteiro!

  36. With all the government regulations there's no profits left .
