Comment on Judge blocks JetBlue from acquiring Spirit Airlinesparent

Comments

So it's a bad ruling because previous administrations didn't try to enforce anti monopoly laws?

Alaska Airlines literally just bought Hawaiian. It hasn't even been two months.

Framing the block of an attempted merger between two airlines that combined are worth less than Alaska (which is itself far from an industry titan) as "anti-monopoly" is simply inane.

It's a good example of how judges are ultimately not that different from politicians.
