| 0:00.0 | place radio network and now chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. So I see where Wall Street |
| 0:07.1 | Journal has ranked the airlines in 2021 and they've ranked the you know nine airlines |
| 0:14.7 | Delta, Alaska, Southwest United, Allegiant, American, Frontier, Spirit and JetBlue and they've |
| 0:21.3 | ranked them in that order. Delta number one across the board. Alaska number two, Southwest |
| 0:29.0 | three, United four, Allegiant five, American six, Frontier and Spirit seven and eight and of |
| 0:35.0 | course the bottom is JetBlue. They weren't the bottom in everything. They were eighth and on time |
| 0:42.6 | arrivals out of nine, four and canceled flight. Who is the worst, Allegiant was worst and canceled |
| 0:49.1 | flights, but they were the bottom in extreme delays and Spirit, JetBlue and Frontier are all |

| 1:37.6 | going to be a 6.6 billion dollar deal if approved and that would create the fifth largest US |
| 1:45.6 | airline. Spirit and Frontier say the deal would create a discount mega-zord. What do we |
| 1:51.7 | be the power rangers? It would provide a million, I know I'm sorry, a billion dollars in annual |
| 1:59.3 | savings for consumers would it and they claim that it would create 10,000 new jobs by 2026. |
| 2:08.5 | Oh that is so special. So the deal is expected to close in the second half of this year 2022 |
| 2:15.5 | but before it could happen it needs to get past regulators and they've already signal distaste |
| 2:20.8 | for airline alliances. Why? As I'm looking at this I'm thinking I mean the government should just |
