What could we possibly want with VA? If its their awesome A319/320's, couldn't we just order them on our own? We need WAY more than what they have, and please don't mention their meaningless letters of intent of their fantasy start up fleet plan where every start up claims they will order 400 jets and fly to every single city or whatever.

We will be placing a massive order soon and everyone knows this. I'm sure a global powerhouse with an improving balance sheet can more than beat the terms of a tiny egomaniac driven start up thats always down to their last 20 million when it comes to terms of aircraft orders.

In the extremely unlikely event we decide to get their planes cause RB wants out, we can take those over through the leasing companies way outside the realm of any merger.
