I mean, it's so crazy to see this happen.

It was so dramatic.

And I think we're all going to miss it in some ways.

Like I've flown Spirit and I like it for what it is.

Like you sort of had to know what you were getting into.

But yeah, like sometimes you just want to pay 50 bucks and then that's that's all you've got and all you want to pay.

And

It's just kind of sad that it's going away and that there's one less choice.

And I really did not see it ending this way when this kind of this journey started four years ago.

Airlines worldwide are taking some extraordinary measures to keep flying and stay in business.

The Iran war has had a pretty significant impact on air travel.

I mean, there's routes that airlines are no longer flying because, you know, they could potentially be dangerous.

You know, planes are having to sort of route around this Mideast airspace.

The big question for airlines is how are they going to manage just billions of dollars in added jet fuel costs?

Their fuel bills doubled in a matter of weeks.

It's not a super high margin business.

So somebody has to pay that bill.

And in a lot of cases, it seems like it's going to be customers who will be paying higher ticket prices.

For airlines, the most acute impact that they're feeling is in the price of fuel.

Jet fuel prices have just skyrocketed since the war began.
