I think there's something else going on behind the scenes. If I'm wrong, which I hope, I'll buy beers for the next 20+ years

SWA is the only carrier in a position right now to buy anyone. 14 billion market cap compared to our 3 billion makes an easy buffet dinner for whoever they pretty much want outside the legacies.

If JB is doing this out of the goodness of their hearts I'll go back to being a 100% blue juicer but just trying to be factually informed right now. In any case Happy July 4th weekend. Drink some beers.
