Would you agree the 6 unmerged airlines (Hawaiian, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, jetBlue, Sun Country) are prime candidates? When it happens, I guess the question is big 4 or one of these other LCCs. As for the SLI, the separate AWA list did just fine in the end with AA. Plus, 8400 mandatory gone in 10 yrs out of 14,000. How bad can a SLI be when 8400+ are gone?
Could make money if you guess right. Whoever owned VX stock got a decent pay day. Guessing game between the remaining 6 airlines now in terms of stock.
I think jetBlue is the next victim. They're rudderless and can't seem to find a forward path after losing VX. Spirit may be in the same shape at 300 airplanes but we won't know for another 10 years.
