I came to spirit so that I could drive to work and spend more time with my family (QOL) with the added benefit that everybody I work with is pretty cool, and I put up with everything else for those two things. Frontier will close my base and I will lose both of them. Jetblue MIGHT not.

And I dont know why you think they have any urgency to merge operations giving us leverage with the JCBA. Financially it makes no difference how long spirit and frontier stay separate since, as you said, the models are so similar. They can stall negotiations as long as they want while waiting for a recession to force concessions.
