That's what I'm expecting, pressure from the legacies on airports to limit gate growth by ULCCs, lawsuits filed or supported by consumer groups against Spirit and Frontier, ticket price dumping on competing routes, possibly pilot poaching and maybe full out merger.

Once the battle with the ME carriers is finished, I believe we'll be next in their crosshairs.
