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.
Dude don't take it up with me.
I didn't write it Hunter Keay an airline analyst did.
Go argue with him he laid out the challenges issues and ways that it could happen (not that it will)
And as for the rest while this is the Internet so everything is fair there were definitely some disparaging remarks made about JetBlue pilots in the other endless JetBlue/United merger thread.
As always we are all just along for the ride.
