We heard about the proposed Virgin merger at the end. We heard about UAL/Continental and DAL/NW because they made it public. SWA and AT was 9 months in the making before we heard anything.

I would guess we are regularly in talks with other carriers. My fear is the arrogance and greed of Jetblue management. Their desire to remain in charge will supersede any salient decision to merge with another carrier. Jetblue can't make it on its own unless it resigns itself to a regional carrier style airline flying Airbuses. Their market mismanagement is well documented.

What do I know but Jetblue has 2 years where the stars are aligned(Pres,House,Senate) where something can/should be accomplished. Fingers crossed.
