"Investors have been expecting this deal to fail. JetBlue's $33.50 per share bid represents a 105% premium to where Spirit shares closed trading on Monday." --- RT @axios NEW: The DOJ has filed an antitrust lawsuit to block JetBlue's planned $3.8 billion takeover of Spirit Airlines, alleging the merger would raise ticket prices and lessen options for travelers. https://trib.al/UUIux0V https://twitter.com/axios/status/1633128868935790593
@annmlipton That does sound like an especially strange and suspicious merger, given that JetBlue is one of the more expensive options and Spirit is damn near the cheapest.
