I think Delta will purchase JB to prevent American from getting JB. As for JB and Virgin not likely JB will just keep hiring Virgin pilots. As I have heard the total is four since Nov 2012. JB is far more of a house hold name then Virgin America anyway. JMHO

I am intimately familiar with the F9/YX acquisition having been a pilot for one of them at the time. Brian wanted to compete and expand with the "big guys" and ended up getting outfoxed by the likes of Gary Kelly in a bidding war. He would have been better off sticking with YX and growing MKE. That city is now under-served once again and the whole fiasco was a tragic waste!
