Spirit Airlines shareholders will vote Thursday on Frontier Airlines’ offer but it is becoming extremely difficult to choose as JetBlue Continually sweetens its offer for takeover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frontier Airlines first put in an offer back in February but has been competing with JetBlue on the buyout offer. Frontier is pushing for a cash and stock deal but JetBlue is sticking with its all-cash offer. JetBlue turned up the heat in April with its all-cash offer which sparked a bidding war for Spirit Airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
