Spirit/Jetblue merger would not be a like-kind merger and creates a concentrated presence in the Northeast and Florida. Will not likely be approved by this administration.
Friends at Frontier and Spirit are disappointed by todays news. Friends at Spirit are horrified at the prospect of being churned into Jetblue morass.
NK guy here. You should have seen the celebration on the merger chats with the news today. You must be friends with the 12 guys at NK who were rooting for F9/Indigo. I would guess less than 10% of the NK pilot group was pulling for F9 and that’s being generous.
