Where did you get the impression that the acquisition of Spirit is just to consolidate back the the NE?? With some of NKs hubs, it provides them with a direct competition launch pad in several legacy hubs…
DFW competes directly with AA and SW
ATL competes directly with DL and SW
ORD competes directly with AA, SW and UA
LAX isn’t a hub for us but we have slots that allow competition with pretty much everyone….
You don’t need widebodies to compete with the big 4…. You need access & pilots…
