IIRC Biden prevented another airline (Jetblue?) from purchasing this one... why was it better to let this one fail instead of being bought?

Flew it only on one roundtrip and it was easily the worst airline ever flown.

A nonstop flight Houston to Detroit was 6 hours late.

A week later, the reverse flight was again 6 hours late.

I determined you get what you pay for.

It's well known as the ghetto airline for a good reason. Still would have been better off purchased/merged than defunct.
