Just messing around but it's a fun guess.

I don't think Delta would give a crap if B6 and F9 merged....barely a blimp on their radar and wouldn't move the needle at all for them one way or another.....

I think everyone is reading too much into the hiring/VSA slowdown. This exact same thing happened last year at the same time. The last VSA last year was in Mar and did not resume until Sep I believe and hiring slowed down as well.

Something changed.

Here is your reason why the hiring freeze. Nothing more and nothing less.

By Victoria Bryan, Reuters. “Lufthansa is due to receive five A320neo jets this year, a spokeswoman said on Thursday, half the number it originally expected, as delivery delays hamper the Airbus plane. Lufthansa, which was the first airline to operate the A320neo and took delivery of five of the jets in 2016, had said at the end of December that it expected 10 of the medium-haul planes this year.”
