Purely for conversation:

I think JB is a radioactive concern for us.

The best thing for Delta and us, is they remain independent.

A UAL/JB partnership is not great for us, and a merger is awful as they would massively dominate NYC. Not a ton of overlapping routes since UAL has zero JFK flying.

Another overlooked option that I’d be looking at if I’m Ben Mininucci(Alaska CEO) is a JB merger catapulting Alaska into Global network carrier overnight. Again, simply
more competition.

And finally a potential DL/JB merger. I don’t think this would work with overlapping routes but a Delta/JB seniority integration would be a nightmare with their much younger pilot group.

Any thoughts?

I just hope our execs are paying attention.
