So just to add more speculation to the rumors. As stated before BL came into a CA upgrade class and separately a recurrent class and stated (corroborated by 3 different people who were in either class) that after the spirit deal fell through Delta made an offer on us which Indigo passed on and then went on to say we "would be sold or merged by this time next year" [alluding to fall 2023], whatever that means. I also want to comment on the idea of moving HQ to DFW...that sort of thing is usually announced months/years in advance by publicly traded companies. You don't just up and move your headquarters without saying anything. Typically states fight over tax advantages (for example what happened when General Electric moved from CT to MA). So not sure what's going on there and I would ask any of you saying BB sold his only property in CO to put up a source because that would be weird that the CEO decides to commute all of a sudden. Also can anyone actually confirm BL also sold property in CO? Not sure where that rumor came from aside from this forum.

Personally I'm here because I want nothing to do with the legacies (well if DAL bought us I might actually be ok with that but AAL is a dumpster fire and UAL has a risky growth plan). I think the growth opportunity with F9 as the sole ULCC of America and then ultimately part of an international network of ULCC codeshares would be a potentially trillion dollar market opportunity that I just don't see Indigo dropping for a quick buck. They are savage investors who know how to make money and if they wanted a quick buck they would have turned us over a few years ago. And we know that wasn't the plan because they would have done that already instead of pursuing the NK deal, they would have waited for us to emerge from covid then offloaded F9 but that never happened.

I also don't see how telling upgrade and recurrent classes that we passed on an offer and potentially may be giving up the growth vision is supposed to be good for recruitment or fix retention. If anything I think people would hurry up even quicker to DAL or UAL (if that's on their radar) if they knew we might end up at AAL or sold to another hedge fund, so I'm thinking that idea is bogus. The whole thing is weird though, I'll give y'all that much.
