It has nothing to do with that. JB would cost United about $10B. It makes no sense. We just acquired 30-40 Airbus from an unknown source (apparently an airline that just went out of business), and an announcement is forthcoming. We went from no new hire classes until March, to 225 new hires needed in November and December alone, including a class of 75 hires on 11/13. UAL/JB would never pass DOJ scrutiny. Also, United wouldn't be ramping up new hires if they were wanting to buy an airline. Buying Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant would make MUCH more sense, if United were to buy any airline.
I'm sorry, but none of the big 4 will be buying JB.
