We get a load of 220s, keep some of their smaller bases, expand along the east coast to secondary cities. JB has good brand recognition in most of the Breeze hubs already, but little variety/frequency of service
This might actually be a thing; JG has returned to a lot of the original B6 leadership team, vision and culture that made B6 succeed in much worse economic times. Her plan might actually work, especially after some capacity disruption/discipline with the NK/F9 efficiencies (I.E. Shrinking to Profitability) gained in their potential merger.
DN is an expert at starting airlines and then selling them, I could see him back as a Board member with a Breeze combo.
But would still rather see AS/HA/B6 “airline group” with all three brands surviving, but under one leadership team, or the wildcard WN/B6 merger.😀
