Food for thought :
NK has been slowly reducing flights out of the hubs that they are now trying to displace us out of. Theoretically, the JB business model should restore us to growing some of these big hubs that legacies compete directly with us. Spirit has said they were looking for ways to not have to compete with the legacies where margins would be lower and simply operate routes with less competition. Makes since. But that's because Spirit cannot compete with legacies when they match us closely on price. People who fly a legacy generally don't fly Spirit. I suspect JB will go directly at the legacies as they do already and will expand our operations in DFW, DTW, and ORD.
