I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…


Spirit Airlines SHUTDOWN but it’s the ONLY airline in 34 years to NOT have a crash… Someone hire these pilots immediately

FSU really helped its positioning over the weekend by sweeping Pitt at home. @FSUBaseball up 9 spots in the RPI to 7. As for @Pitt_BASE, really needed to get one this weekend. Pitt down to 52 in the RPI (-7) + iffy 10-14 league record. Finish VERY important.








Something most of you didn’t know is the prior to my current gig I was offered a job at spirit as a first Officer and only didn’t go because my dream spot called a few weeks after. But it was an exciting moment for me back when it occurred. I have friends who are there, or were there so this kinda thing sucks to see. The crews there were amazing, some of the best in the industry. Their passenger base is what gave them the rep they had but the people who flew their aircraft and took care of the passengers in flight were excellent by all means, hopefully they find a new gigs quickly, and the transition is as painless as possible. Sad day to see a US company fail.

Now I have to get into bed early because I have a 5k to run in the morning. 😩
