Other than a private investment group, the only obvious suitor is JetBlue. Very similar business models, corporate cultures, and equipment. I can't imagine one of the Big 4 being allowed to purchase VA.

Wth is that suppose to mean? When did I ever say I want to work for or not work for Delta? Or good mouth / bad mouth Delta?

Sounds like you have personal issues from whatever happened at Colgan. Let it go. Like I have any say in what's going on?

Does JetBlue have enough money to buy Virgin?

Then frontier and Spirit would merge. Southwest would buy Sun Country, Hawaii and Allegiant would merge..... Then Schumer would crap his pants!!

A pilot online said it won't happen. Phew, close call we can all breathe easy now.
