If I were Jetblue, I'd buy Frontier in a heartbeat. Same fleets, same enthusiasm by the employees, nice western hub, good routes to Mexico.
I personally think it would be a bad move to compete with SWA and The worlds largest airline in DEN, and gain a MKE hub with a major AirTran/SWA entrenchment.
but...
JetBlue is pushing the pilots to sign away 10% of the ASM's. It would be interesting if JetBlue purchased frontier with a guaranteed FFD contract with republic to operate the 170/190's.(I hope this isnt the case.)
I guess they changed the airbus order today as well. (
