That said, having seen/seeing what Ryanair and other LCCs did to legacy business models in Europe, I’d never dismiss this combined company as a concern for UAL/other legacies.
I could see AVELO and allegiant cuddling up together. Breezyboys and JB joining up as well. How will the pilot shortage affect the legacy models without regional pilots is the bigger question.
