Use them to deport illegals.

I would need to see what the proposal is on this. Are we talking about an actual ownership stake where the government runs it, or we talking about "ownership" in the same way the average stockholder "owns" a company? If it's simply taking ownership for long enough to sell it to another airline, I'd be okay with that.

Look how well it worked out with Amtrak

No such thing as free markets or small government anymore. Companies aren't allowed to fail. Our national debt is equal to 100% of GDP and climbing. All these political clowns know is more debt. Print dollars till they're completely worthless.
unbelievably frustrating..

Worth it to keep the trash off the other airlines. MMA should buy it though since it’s known for fights and drunks.

Didn't the government block the simplest solution of Spirit merging with Frontier?

Amtrak sells hamburgers in the cafe coach for $12, but it costs us $80 for the union to make them.

No you don't. Government should not be bailing out failed companies.

It's not the Airline that's worth anything, most of the aircraft are leased, it's the leases that they hold on gates and slots.

I will need a cup of Coke and a snack from Spirit on the house if my tax dollars bail them out.

Buy them and use them for deportations.
Or
Let them take all the folks that are disrispect’d to keep all the other airlines safe.

Why would the federal government even consider this?
If you have been paying attention, we have bought interests in a number of companies this last year or so, including Intel. It is a little unprecedented.

Can we own them and police their flights a little more?
How about a dress code?

and if this happens... Sean Duffy will be running the most efficient airline in America.. Now if it was Pete Buttplug in charge? Hell to the No.
