RIP Spirit Airlines
John Ostrower, aviation journalist at The Air Current, tracks Spirit’s fall from ultra-cheap disruptor to collapse. Deborah Lucas, MIT finance professor and former CBO official, weighs when bailouts make sense. They get into failed merger drama, rising fuel and engine troubles, copycat budget fares from big airlines, and why cheap flying in America may be fading fast.
