I think the argument for a merger between Frontier & Spirit seems pretty obvious (e.g. massive ULCC, fleet type commonality, similar contracts, route overlap, etc.). There seems to be a consensus that the trajectory of the industry may lead to more consolidation. All that said, why wouldn’t a merger between Frontier + Spirit happen? I know this is all speculative, but it highlights the differences and potential trajectories of the companies.
As with anything, all mergers are about $. If it makes Indigo money (keep in mind that mergers also COST money in the short term), then it will be introduced. If not, then it won't. Simple.
