Yes. NK cabin configuration, and route structure is all wrong for B6. The customer base is all wrong. They could re work all of that, but it would pee away a LOT of the NK value that they paid for... makes little sense to me at face value.
Only inconsistency between AS and B6 is fleet type. But the combined entity would be so large that it could easily support two fleets. There's also a fringe benefit to that... if the max has to take another time out for example, it would be nice to not have all the eggs in one basket.
