B6 would be a sticky merger. Too much airbus offloading, NYC and BOS bs to deal with. Breeze is a clean sheet. Unestablished union. 73-7 sized aircraft that satisfy wallstreet and prevent another MAX grounding disaster. Large presence in TPA, RSW, CHS, BDL, PVD, LAS..... it's almost like.... wait for it.... those are VERY POPULAR WN STATIONS. End rant.
WN would need 500 220 to prevent a max grounding disaster. They would not survive on breezes 220 alone or their orders. WN is all in on the max weather it's a good idea or not
