Gloopy,
Take a look at B6 financials, to include JetBlues fully owned subsidiary LiveTV. B6 will not be "acquired" by anybody. They may "merge", but B6 is no AirTran. SWA won't be able to use the same strong arm tactics with B6. Any transactional event will be mutually agreed upon because of B6 highly desired assets. Any suitor will have to pay top dollar or a premium for those assets, that you describe, which puts B6 in the drivers seat. Just saying, because of B6's strong position it won't be easy for anybody to "acquire", more likely "merge" on JetBlue terms vice SWA strong arm tactics.
