That's not a great combination. Yes, this isn't busting rocks in Afghanistan, but is THAT the right comparison?
Switch the coasts around, and this sounds just like us at the other blue and white carrier.
Jetblue played the cards in 2016 but lost the bidding war. It’s clear they’re interested in areas they realize are lacking (eg, west coast, maybe Europe long term). They showed their chips and didn’t win, most likely next time around there won’t be any bidding war. Whoever it is, it’ll just happen and be announced in the news. We both feel the same in regards to a lack of rudder for our respective carrier, but at least with B6 you know they’re looking to buy/merge - and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
