But speaking from personal experience the two largest reasons I chose a flight are frequency and price. Well besides actually serves the destination but…duh. LCC have price generally sorted out, so now all I need is more frequency. The merger has a good potential to create that or at least accelerate that. With JetBlue I just see another airline trying to be a 4th legacy and not really standing out from their competition. I hope they succeed since more competition is good but I would prefer the LCC model to succeed and grow.
Why would merging increase frequency? If they wanted frequency we'd have started adding frequency 80 planes ago. They have zero intention of a southwest style frequency structure.

Frontier is actually worse in this regard. The overwhelming majority of their routes are 3-5x a week or once a day..
