What were the reasons for that consolidation? Was it just simply that a small airline is not economically viable or is it a push for larger airlines?

Considering the talk around Spirit being on the verge of bankruptcy it seems like it may be a mix of the 2 and the first one being an important part of this conversation.

just saying lets fix the market while ignoring that there is a problem with the market with a potential thing to address part of it right in front of us is just passing on the problem until we have the perfect solution.

That perfect solution may not be viable or may be many years away for a variety of problems (not the least of which being just a space problem at airports).

We have a bad tendency to try to get the perfect solution to a problem which stops us from having anything.
