About this episode

The episode discusses the downfall of Spirit Airlines as a result of government intervention and examines a related court ruling.

Send me feedback! The demise of Spirit Airlines is a classic case of govt picking winners and losers. I walk through the history of what happened and retrospectively look at the court ruling (and how awful it was).
