This isn’t happening until spirit planes are being painted blue. NK has already agreed to be purchased by Indigo and there will be a hefty financial penalty that NK will have to pay F9 if they pull out. It’s already part of the agreed upon deal. As of right now NK is still being purchased by Indigo. JetBlue has simply come along and said, “Hey you should consider dropping that deal and going with us. Here’s why and here is what we will pay you.” Whether NK will take the deal or not is another story. For the sake of image with NK shareholders they have to at least act they are going to explore the deal and see if it’s in their best interest. It doesn’t mean they have any intention of actually taking it.

Talk is cheap. Believe it when it starts to happen and, right now, NK and F9 are still further along in the process than JB. At the moment, JB is nothing but a talking point. That’s not to say that there isn’t a chance this could happen, but many on the Spirit forums are acting like it’s a done deal and the F9 deal is dead. Like Therapysession said, don’t go buying blue shirts just yet.
