I think you're right though, I can see consolidations between those five, but my guess would be some sort of Frontier/Allegiant mix, rather than the others. They're all too remarkedly different to really integrate. I wouldn't imagine Virgin, JetBlue, or Spirit would merge with any of the others. Getting bought out could be a different story though, but I would imagine not for a LONG time, not whole they're staying solvent or in the case of JetBlue and Spirit profitable.

ALL of this is just my extremely uneducated guess.
