Southwest is trying to rebrand themselves as well and enter the premium space so it could be an option. Frontier/Spirit are already dancing partners, and then there's Breeze, which does nothing for us except give us more 220s.
Breeze gives us a lot more east coast leisure, particularly mid-Atlantic states where we are weaker. Yes we all want it to be UA but I don’t think Breeze is a stretch for a realistic merger partner.
