I don't see the Spirit and JetBlue buyout.. Seems so odd. Completely different product, and different style of passengers. If they raise fares to bring Spirit flying up to Jetblue standard, then they lose those low fare pax, and if they reduce service to become more low cost, then they lose the JetBlue pax that have come to expect that level of service.

Some think it was fair, others think they got hosed.
It went to arbitration but I think it was pretty reasonable… I was junior at the time and ended up getting slotted DOH.

Let’s be honest, you don’t want to see it at all😂. I don’t really either, they were miles apart. If any of this they feel threatens them, they will show up with bags of cash… 1 to 4 odds they move on B6 or AS. I have a funny feeling UAL is about to try something. AS and B6, if it going to happen, it’s likely to happen in the next couple of weeks.
I was told AS/B6 will 100% come to a board vote… BM only gets one vote, and he would likely be unemployed by a positive outcome.

Only inconsistency between AS and B6 is fleet type. But the combined entity would be so large that it could easily support two fleets. There's also a fringe benefit to that... if the max has to take another time out for example, it would be nice to not have all the eggs in one basket.

is bringing on a Bus a MAX 9/10 and a regional turbo prop feeder. WN does not like to outsource. I could be wrong, but I seriously doubt a WN/AS merger. And you’re right I don’t want to see that 😎

There’s too many tech issues plaguing WN right now. The last thing they’re interested in
