More stuff circulating on the streets that a merger is in the works behind the scenes with Alaska and JetBlue. Anyone else hearing this?

I hear United, Alaska, Hawaiian (and Hawaiian + Alaska) almost daily. I really do hope we merge. I think the additional marker share will increase our career stability and be better in the long term.



In the short term, like any good airline merger, we will all have to hate each other and exclaim how unfair it is, how bad the other guys are, and how we all should be senior to everyone else.

Well... there are rumblings on the financial side of things about a $7B transaction. I can only think of a few things with that kind of market cap and JB is one of them.

JB is more 5.5B. 7B sounds more like a 30~ aircraft order...

30? Maybe if they are ordering the 787. That should get you at least 70 narrowbodies.

Or add in HA with a market cap of 1.5B. Maybe they want both lol
