Its time for all the legacies to go after JB hard and in a way they won't be able to beg daddy government for help (squealing about "predatory pricing"...a phenomenon which apparently only works one way as its A-OK when they do it) by flooding JB's best markets, all of them, with mass quantities of capacity at JB's lowest bucket fares. Nothing they can do about that. Except agree to sell of course. JB (the company, not the pilots) is one of the biggest threats the industry faces right now. And it will have to be dealt with or the cancer will grow out of control and we will wake up to hundreds of additional narrow bodies and a widebody order poaching any market they please while the legacies shrink to profitability until at least one folds. Its them or us in the long run. And they want it to be them. Fair enough. But don't act all high and mighty when others hope they are not successful in their long term goals.
