Just throwing this out there... When in aviation history have 2 profitable airlines merged??... I get that we both fly airbuses... I get that we are both ulcc... Why does that matter? Qdoba and chipotle are both decent, "quick" Mexican food places... They both make money and no one talks about them merging... I might be comparing apples to cactii but just because we do very similar things doesn't mean they need to mash us together... If the whole point of the ulcc is to do things as cheaply as possible, a merger would drive the casm through the roof, at least temporarily...
