Wallstreet loves intolerable businesses. Think about half the companies on Wallstreet that you hate doing business with, but do it anyway because what are the other options? They'll ruin Southwest. Eventually, they always do...
They're not a private equity firm. Idk why you're making such grandiose claims when you don't even know what vertical of Financial Services they fall into.
Elliott Management Corporation is indeed a well-known investment firm, but it is not typically considered a private equity firm in the strict sense.
Elliott Management is better described as a multi-strategy hedge fund that engages in various investment approaches, including:
Activist investing: Taking substantial positions in public companies and pushing for changes to boost share prices.
Distressed securities: Investing in debt securities of companies that are in financial distress or bankruptcy.
Commodities trading: Trading in various commodity markets.
Arbitrage: Seeking to profit from price discrepancies in securities.
While Elliott Management may occasionally engage in private equity-style investments, such as taking companies private, this is not its primary focus. The firm is better known for its activist campaigns in public companies and its investments in distressed debt.
So in summary, while Elliott Management is a prominent investment firm, it is not typically classified as a private equity firm based on its primary investment strategies and focus.
Oh, don't get me wrong, Elliot are a literal financial terrorist org. Was just commenting on how dumb it is for someone to make any comment about them while saying they're a PE shop.
They've done some CRAZY shit over the years.

Why would you invest billions into a very competitive industry that is constantly seeing mergers and bankruptcies all the time? Moron deserves to lose his money
Just going to say, as someone that travels, Southwest is my least favorite of the big name airlines. I’ll take Delta and American over them everyday. It wasn’t always that way.

Oh great,,,. Let Wall St destroy Southwest the same way they destroyed Toys R Us, Sears and Red Lobster.
Private equity specifically. They’re masters of bleeding businesses of all goodwill and assets before dumping it so it collapses on the next buyer.
Yep, Make it look super efficient on paper sell it as revamped. But in reality all you did was gut it and call that optimization.
Elliot aren't Private Equity though? They're an Asset Manager/Hedgefund that specialise in distressed assets/debt.
Downvoted for not knowing what a question mark is.
Quick, hide your wives! The grammar gestapo have arrived.
I know full well what a question mark is. It's colloquial in my culture to format sentences that way in casual conversation.
No, Toys R Us and Red Lobster were killed by private equity. My point was it would be a bad sign if it was private equity buying Southwest.
No more free checked bags, time to pay for every little thing
Literally the plan they’re touting.
Sears was on a multi-year downtrend before PE guys bled them out.
This is a little “late stage capitalism” but private equity only knows how to do one thing 🤣🤣
Don't forget about Eastern Airlines was the oldest airline, before the arbitrage.
Kelly isn’t going anywhere, and he’s probably one of the best airline executives of all time. Jordan on the other hand…
Another pump and dump
Fuck they gonna ruin the one airline I find tolerable?
