The numbers are out there on market share and, I agree, DAL would have a hard time with a jetblue purchase but when you compare NYC market share amongst UAL or AA I certainly see the potential. Truthfully, UAL or AA are comfortable waiting Jetblue out. Look at the history. No network since its inception so is the carrier truly a concern? Would it be better to keep a controllable status quo or risk another carrier coming in who’s potential could cause the legacies issues.
DAL has the control, UAL wants the control and AA is at risk of never having the opportunity to control.
