No I meant. JetBlue the company. How much is the decision not working out in their favor going to cost them?

In this case, yes. It was agreed specifically for this reason. Originally Spirit board was against the JetBlue merger as they did not believe DOJ would approve it, and to mitigate that concern, JetBlue agreed to the breakup fee.

None of them (mgmt teams) are, most make educated guessses and are more affected by circumstances and events completely out of their control. Be ultra-conservative and leave $$$$Billions on the table when the market/conditions are good, take too many risks and look like bafoons when the plan explodes in your face. Most make a bet one way or the other and either get paid well to go to new job, and/or get paid well to leave. Either way mgmt team does alright, it's the employees tied to SL system left holding the bag.

I think Ted Christie is doing just fine. He’s getting hundreds of millions from JetBlue and back to merging with Frontier. Maybe the stockholders should’ve listened to him when he said a JetBlue merger wouldn’t be approved.
