The big issue here is what was once “easy” may not be when you come back and find your easy is now a major hub for a ulcc.

But again you are eliminating 2 ulccs and now will just compete against 1 I would rather be in a fare war with 1 ulcc vs 2.

I get the logic if you look at the big guys thanks to the mergers they have super hubs something jetblue absolutely does not. They can play around with different stuff because they control ATL or DFW or IAH. Jetblue seems to be trying to do that but it’s going to be hard to do and the current operation does not help.

If you want FL now and like frontier go with them.
