The only wildcard might be for a couple of activist investors to force a WN/B6 merger to force B6 to larger scale, and bring WN into the next level of premium offerings, trans-Atlantic, and fleet diversity with all of Boeing’s issues.
Will be an interesting few years to say the least.
I've been saying this since Elliot got their hands on WN. It would make perfect sense for them to be able to get into the europe/carribean market, get Airbus order slots (320, and 220), bake "mini mint" into their newer 73's on certain routes to test out the demand, and or move B6's mint product to some routes that they know would have demand for premium products short term. I think B6 has everything they need.
