This is the oldest trick in the book!! hahahah Stay pilots!! stick with your day jobs!!
The plan was always to make F9 pay alot more to get the deal done, Ive seen this movie more than I've seen Top Gun
Hayes and B6 are doing a great job making it so compelling though, Franke doesnt know what to do LOL He's going to end up paying way more than what he wanted, but he'll still get his precious airline back before he hands it over to his son.
I think it has been pretty obvious that JetBlue has had NK in its sights for a long time and were caught off guard by the NK/F9 merger. If the merger never happened I think we would have seen JetBlue make an offer to buy Spirit sometime this year.
