I could see SWA taking a hard look at JetBlue in the near future. They honestly could compliment each other well with the network and aircraft. Plus, AS is busy merging with Hawaiian and I doubt the DOJ will allow 3 mergers at once.
Very long term, I can see Delta, American, United, and Southwest eventually merging with the rest of the LCCs and just leaving primarily 4 major airlines.
I believe United will merge/aquire with Spirit before they go with JetBlue. Kirby has already been talking about Spirit for a while.
Agreed, I don’t think it is crazy to see UA make a move for NK. That would set off another round of consolidation for all the big players. DL/F9? AA/JB? WN/AS?
