Today on Stinchfield, we expose the real reason Spirit Airlines crashed and burned and it’s not gas prices. The Biden DOJ’s decision to block the JetBlue merger was the final nail in the coffin for a struggling airline.
Democrats unreasonable fear of monopolies and big conglomerates is part of the issue. Free markets should be just that. Dominance should be applauded. Where monopiles become problems is when government creates them through a bureaucratic licensing and regulatory system that literally creates the winners and losers.
Add to that an unsustainable business model that catered almost exclusively to the lowest-cost travelers, and it’s no wonder Spirit became a punchline rather than a preferred airline.
Join us as we break down the policies, missteps, and political interference that sealed Spirit’s fate—and why the airline’s demise is a warning about government overreach and bad business decisions.
