So Bud Fox went to all that trouble in the first movie to stop Gekko from buying the airline because he would have fired everyone. Well if he converted it into a Jet Brokerage wouldn't that have done a lot of the same thing

Plus it was all a nod to the real blue star airline tuned brokerage...ironically inspired by the original movie.
shareOk I'm feeling stupid today, did the airline fold or did it convert into a brokerage hence making all the employees a profit?
Spoiler alert for them spoil sports out there! Y'all like spoiled milk, stop crying over it!

No, Bud Fox turned the company around and then sold it.
So if it was a profitable company, it would not be usually worth breaking up and selling, So most likely was sold to another larger airline who kept it together.
Also main reason the company was going to be sold off by Gecko was the extra money in the pension funds, which probably was gone by the time Bud Fox came out of prison, turned the company round and years later sold it.
What I don't understand is that Bud Fox never owned Bluestar. Sir Larry Wildman bought the company after being promised massive union concessions. Are we to believe Bud bought the company from him afterwards or that it was just given to him? Or that after serving some time he was allowed on the board of the company and able to do anything he wants?
