At the same time, they will continue to build and expand MIA to the extent it is economically beneficial, which I believe it will be. I think JB+NK will seek to be as large as possible in both FLL/MIA, in exactly the same way that JB seeks to be as large as possible in all 3 NYC airports.
Plus combining the airline and streamlining the schedules probably allows the same number of flights, or more even, while giving up the gates.
Synergies baby!
