@Johnbernaise @therealrichonda @SecDuffy They are around yes.
Things are not going well for them though.
The unexpected spike in fuel costs are a disaster for all of them.

Honorable Senator William Murray. Lesser known Dixiecrats. I represented the great state of D'Souzabama. Satire for those who didn't get it already.

Nice job, Pete.
Secretary Pete Buttigieg@SecretaryPete
Americans deserve robust competition & affordable airfares. USDOT supports DOJ's antitrust lawsuit, & we plan to deny the JetBlue-Spirit request for an exemption on their merger deal. We will continue with our own investigation while supporting DOJ's work. transportation.gov/briefing-room/…

@DaBearsk35 @JessicaHuseman Seems the higher jet fuel costs are actually taking a significant toll on US airlines.
English
@DaBearsk35 @JessicaHuseman Well, Spirit explicitly stated that the sharp increases in fuel costs in the last few weeks were the reason they had to cease operations
So they mattered to Spirit
They matter to jet Blue too. They are raising fares, bag fees and cutting capacity to offset the higher fuel costs
English
Spirit Airlines, meanwhile: “sudden and sustained rise in fuel prices in recent weeks ultimately has left us with no alternative.”
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Sean Duffy on Spirit Airlines: "I think it's important to talk about why we are here today. Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg ... "
English
@DaBearsk35 @JessicaHuseman Ok.
Explain how a merger with JetBlue (who is currently expected to lose -$1 billion this year) would have protected them from the: “sudden and sustained rise in fuel prices in recent weeks caused by the Iran War"
English
@JessicaHuseman Lol. Maybe incompetent, lying left wing kooks should have let them merge with JetBlue .. now you definitely got fewer jobs and flights 🤡
English
@arroz_roz @JessicaHuseman As of January 2026, their bankruptcy plan was underway. They had cut their costs significantly and their exit from bankruptcy was seen as likely
Then the Iran War stated and jet fuel costs skyrocketed
Those additional costs derailed their bankruptcy plan and made them insolvent
English
@JessicaHuseman Weird that they filed bankruptcy 17 months ago and stated and disclosed in a regulatory filing in August 2025 that it had “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue operating.
English
@JetSetGent @JessicaHuseman @atrupar How would the merger have protected them from the "sudden and sustained rise in fuel prices in recent weeks" that killed their bankruptcy plan?
Jet Blue is on track to lose $1 billion this year.
English
@JessicaHuseman @atrupar Yeah, if they were allowed to merge with JetBlue it wouldn’t have been a problem.

@AlliedStatesOA @WallStreetApes When did that happen?

@SenatorMurray @WallStreetApes When the United States left the capitalist system.

There is a tent city encampment that spans 15 blocks in Phoenix Arizona
It’s called ‘The Zone.’ It was cleared out a few years ago but the homeless are returning and taking over the area
People defecating in the street and drug use throughout. The stuff of nightmares”
The area is now being lined with homeless, lines with tents, “Look at all the syringes,
Trash and needles scattered on the sidewalks. Defecating the streets is every day.”
We should not be allowing this in America *# should be treatment or jail. You can’t live on sidewalks and takeover blocks
English
@EWErickson Spirit Airlines literally said the sole reason that their plan to exit from bankruptcy (which was 100% on track in Jan 2026) failed was rising fuel costs.
Those rising by fuel costs were a direct result of the Iran War.
You know this though and yet you still choose to lie.
English
Today, 14,000 Americans are waking up unemployed because Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Lina Khan, and the Biden Administration insisted they were smarter and more knowledgeable about the airline industry than the airline industry itself. Technocrats kill jobs.
English
@h2av8tor @EWErickson Trump has won the majority of blue collar workers for over 10 years now.
He won a bigger share in 2024 because he promised them he would lower prices on food and housing on day 1 and cut gas and energy prices by -50% in the first 18 months.
English
@EWErickson It amazes me that so many blue collar people vote Democratic, when the Democrats have done so much to make their lives so hard.
English
@Adopt_a_MEME @AlliedStatesOA @WallStreetApes Pretty sure you're not allowed to disagree with him.
That is part of the job.
You might want to take a break though.
The screens look to be really fucking with your eyes.

@AlliedStatesOA @WallStreetApes When did Arizona leave the Capitalist system?

@WallStreetApes Returning to capitalism will help fix this. And also better parenting.

@fbastiat17 @WallStreetApes "I think she's going to regret keeping her hispanic husband's name"
Why would keeping a Hispanic name harm her in Phoenix?
English
@WallStreetApes This is Kate Gallego's Phoenix.
I think she's going to regret keeping her hispanic husband's name for 'political points' after he cheated on her and divorced her as she was about to give birth.
Pathetic.

@JasonOt88807387 @WallStreetApes What are piticians?
And who the fuck are you to demand they be locked up for life?
That might be how things go where you live but this ain't Russia.
This is America and what you're suggesting it one of the most un-American things possible.
English
@WallStreetApes The only way to end this is to round up all the democrat piticians and lock them up for life.

@del_nickell @WallStreetApes I believe it. I got sent on a plumbing call one day to a building they use for restrooms and such. Walked around, got right back in my van and took off. Sketchy is an understatement
English
@moon_stars2015 @WallStreetApes What specific installations are you referring to?
English
@WallStreetApes Installations are allowing it. Arizonans voted against this nonsense. These people pop up all over the metropolitan area, devaluing communities and making Arizonans less safe. CA and its special interest groups are helping the installations destroy AZ.

@ScottNover I wonder if his "dentist" is the type that gives a happy finish at the end?
English
i need to find a dentist who works weekends
Julia Manchester@JuliaManch
President Trump is at a scheduled dental appointment at his local dentist in Florida, per White House press pool

@emptywheel @Sassafrass_84 I am dreading it because it's the same shit that they did all throughout COVID.
English
@emptywheel @Sassafrass_84 Considering the slew of bad economic news caused by the Iran War that Americans are going to be confronted with in the next few months, this is a preview of the non-stop flurry of desperate attempts by MAGA trolls to try to pin the blame for the bad news on anyone but Trump.
English
Just a PSA:
Spirit had a plan out of bankruptcy until Donald Trump decided to let the Mullahs close Hormuz, and a bunch of utterly HILARIOUS little Trump trolls are DESPERATE to deny he's responsible.
Donald Trump did this, and poor little @Sassafrass_84 doesn't want you think about how he's doing the same to YOU, too.
Sassafrass84@Sassafrass_84
Just a psa: Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, and Joe Biden stopped the merger between Jet Blue and Spirit Airlines. This is not President Donald Trumps fault. Don't let them lie. Keep showing their old posts.
English
@Sassafrass_84 That is the truth.
You not liking the truth or denying it, doesn't make it less true.
Spirit failed because fuel prices spiked because Trump started a war with Iran that he can't finish.
That's what happened.
That's what Spirit Airlines said happened.
English
@Sassafrass_84 Spirit Airlines said the sole reason their planned exit from bankruptcy failed was rising fuel costs over the last few months.
The cause of those rising fuel costs was the Iran War.
Spirit failed because of rising fuel costs.
Spirit's failure is Trump's fault.
