Final list will probably be very close to the AK/VA 60/40. The final company will have about 8,000 (JB will have 5,000 by the end of THIS year) pilots, be approaching SWA in size, will need a joint CBA during a great time for pilots, be adding Transatlantic and probably transpacific. The airline does seem to want a more national footprint, so I don't see base closings likely. Good compromise and opportunity for everyone.
Honest question, I haven’t been keeping up in the news lately. Has JetBlue talked about getting WB? You said transpacific, so I’m assuming WB in the future? Correct me if I’m wrong, but a A321XLR can’t do 12-14 which is what you would need to even do LAX to NRT or even PEK with reserve.
