Like jim hinted at, we'll probably see mergers before an out and out bankruptcy.I was thinking that as well. I wouldn't be surprised if an airline goes under...
The Spirit/Frontier or Spirit/JetBlue mergers would likely have been approved by a Trump-run FTC.Like jim hinted at, we'll probably see mergers before an out and out bankruptcy.
