Shouldn’t even consider bailing out. The public hasn’t gotten anything positive out of past bailouts of autos and banks. Just more government vote buying and pocket lining. Current administration isn’t any different than predecessors in that regarding.

I don’t agree with a bail out, but could they let JetBlue buy them at some dollar level?

Well sure Jet Blue could buy them.... if they still want to....... as they tried to do before. They were prevented from merging by the government. Leading to this.

I am not sure what you mean by "at some dollar level"? Are you implying a dollar level set by..... who? The government? Any dollar amount would have to be an amount agreed upon by both Jet Blue and Spirit. At this point, the best thing the government could do in this instance, is to make it clear that they will NOT stand in the way if any other private company wishes to engage in mergers or acquisitions of Spirit.

Current value, and not necessarily the offer before, I wasn’t sure if there was some judgment that prevented it now.

let them fail

If only it was possible that the last paycheck anyone with a Cxx after their name ever collected from that company was the one they got last pay day.

like to cut some cords on those golden parachutes.
