Even though I like having fun speculating at times, I don’t ever really buy into all the rumors. However, I still don’t understand what else this social media post could mean.

Continental moved its DEN ops to the United terminal before the merger was announced.

Nowhere near the same product.

I won’t believe anything until I get a new ID.

Don’t count on new airplanes until you’re putting your number in the logbook.

And where did United just open 2 new bases after almost 20 years? Non other than co-bases with F9, both on the same day.

Barry sold his house because he’ll be out of a job so why not retire to Dallas where I guess he spent a lot of time in the past.

It doesn’t make sense for United at all if you know the backstory of the base selection and recent aircraft orders. For better or worse, UAL is now firmly committed as a Boeing customer / airline; just look at the metrics of the last order. There are just enough airbuses to replace the aging fleet and a long term order of 321’s to eventually replace the 75’s. Beyond that, it’s all Boeing. The company is open about being primarily a Boeing company / fleet. Also, the LAS base opened almost assuredly because of all the unfilled captain vacancies on the West Coast. And MCO makes sense as a lot of UAL pilots live there, so it’s convenient in that respect, and it’s a good way to attract more pilots, as well as opens up the potential for more Mexico / South American flying. This isn’t hypothetical information; Kirby has been open about all of this. I’m telling you, I wouldn’t look too much into the base openings, and I firmly believe the Airbus order that F9 management touts as having some sort of huge market value is exaggerated. It’s a Boone for F9 for sure, but not to the extent that a would-be-suitor is going to pay an arm and a leg to buy a company just to get an Airbus order, especially not to UAL which is a primarily Boeing company and displayed that intent recently with both a NB and WB order. Im speculating that the only thing F9 has that could benefit UAL are pilots, and they are leaving in droves for UA anyway. And in full disclosure, I’m someone rooting for it to happen.

That also has its own problems. Similar base and flight structure but we certainly wouldn’t be the greenest anymore. And they just placed an order for 50 max was it?

AA gets Allegiant
Alaska gets Avelo
Delta gets Sun country
Hawaiian gets Breeze
JetBlue gets Spirit
Southwest gets scheduling software
United gets Frontier

Consolidation round 2 complete. *Disclaimer* this entire list is a joke for those that take life too seriously.
