They are attempting. That’s why they are trying to get the Spirit shareholders to vote no on Frontier in June.

They aren’t just magically getting 51 percent of Spirit.
I understand hostels can be very hostile, but I’m not sure I’ve heard of hostels being taken over.

I don’t. Is that like when backpackers on a gap year revolt against the owners? Or more like a Crashpad Campaign?

I have stayed in some very hostile hostels. Only gave me one towel and they only wanted to return my deposit in cash. #notpleased

Never heard of Grammer Police. Is their jurisdiction similar to that of Grammar Police?

No, they have their own jurisdiction. They were apparently established first, so they got the better name. And it’s GrammerPolice, not Grammer Police. I’ll let you off with a warning this time.

Was it the finance situation? Was it trying to work the NEA (which was being crafted before covid). We don’t know. Now there isn’t a choice. It’s now or never. Not sure why this concept is so difficult to understand for some…RH publicly said as much regarding the timing. Unsurprisingly, he didn’t mention anything about girls and dances, just the business reasons associated with “why now.”
JetBlue's #fakenews taken to task.

How is that being taken to task? Seems more like stating the obvious.

Baldanza is on JB’s BOD?! And he used to be the CEO at Spirit! Woah, why didn’t anyone mention that before? This changes EVERYTHING!

You've misunderstood the thrust of my comment. B6 employees, have erroneously stated that B6 has long coveted NK. This is false. They only pounced when they realized it would be a competitive threat. The tales we tell ourselves to suit the narrative we are most comfortable with is ingrained in the human psyche.

Whoever wrote that "response" is an idiot. I'm assuming it's an attorney but where the hell did they take the Bar? Haiti? I predict no matter how this goes down there will be new SEC regulations written and MBA courses on how to get a cushy BOD job and not to put yourself into jeopardy of being sodomized in a prison shower.

It’s false if you listen to Ted. It’s true if you listen to Robin. One of them is not being fully transparent.

Someone is lying. Zero proof of who. Seems you picked the narrative that soothes you. Seems to me one side has much more motivation to lie than the other.
