Shame another airline closes up, how much did the rise in oil prices thanks to Donald trump contribute to this.

Why did it get here and not get bailed out by the government.

Higher fuel prices are going to hurt all types of carriers and transportation services.

I hear your point but why does the government have to end up paying tax payers money to bail out a private business that is in business to make money. Let businesses either make it or fail, not being mean but that is the real world. A mom and pop corner store that fails does not get a government bail out, so why is it if you go big you deserve special treatment.

Who is next to fold, the airlines can not make money at current fuel prices.

They went into bankruptcy twice before third time was not a charm.
