Just because two airlines have lower fares and less frills doesn't mean they will merge. Allegiant is small city only, Spirit is large city only. No overlap. Frontier is trying everything it can to compete, but I think a merger with them is equally unlikely. Why merge with them? To get Denver gates? To get a foothold in Trenton? None of this makes sense. Mergers are almost always bad for pilots anyways.
