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.
In 20+ years you have your first two post both about SWA buying JetBlue. Also, you don’t come to this forum to be factually informed.
Explain why keeping 4100 pilots on property all of a sudden means JetBlue is getting bought, are we the only employees that work here? Maybe the gate agents getting early out means we are going to close up shop? Or the flight attendants maybe getting furloughed means fedex is going to buy us?
Maybe JetBlue and ALPA signed an NDA to finalize the language, and make sure that the company is legal bound to the snap backs. Cross the T’s dot the I’s?
