Control-F "antitrust". Zero hits.

Why no discussion of "yet another victory" for antitrust? Was 2024 really that long ago?

Instead of complaining, start that discussion. Add value.

To me it's dishonest to write an article like this without mentioning the reason why Spirit's employees and customers are in this situation: because the owners realized that it wasn't a viable business but were blocked from selling their company by the government.

It's not like the article doesn't go into the history of the company either. There's a paragraph that starts with "Spirit has been unprofitable since the pandemic..." To deliberately leave out one of the most important parts of that history is extremely deceptive.
