I would think if Jet Blue acquires Spirit that all bases not on the coast are going to be closed.
So they’re going to run an 7000 pilot, 450 plane airline out of Florida, JFK/Boston and LAX?
I would call that unlikely. It wouldn’t surprise me if B6 would eventually shutter the bases in ORD and DFW, but they absolutely want to grow across the country in places where they are not in direct competition with AA who has a beneficial relationship with them in the r NE. DTW, ATL, LAS seem to fit the bill. ACY/PHL probably less so. IAH? Who knows?
I don’t think anyone has any clue how this eventually shakes out from the jet bridge to the C suite, but I suspect the all coast based airline is probably the least probable outcome.
