I'd call it wishful thinking on your part. If you stop to analyze what the DOT would make the combined carrier liquidate (JFK, BOS) then where's the value? Sure, we'd all LOVE to see any Florida base become a part of the system, but there can't be enough there to make opening up NYC and Boston to the other airlines & make it worth it. Sure, I'd love to see us have all those nice AirBi that you all have, but I also loathe the idea of another merger. Realistically I see Spirit as a better candidate. It kills a major thorn in our side, and gives us lots of AirBi with the V2500 engines that we can re-configure and re-deploy.
