I'm thinking Flight Attendant training, use of Sims, or something along those lines.
Uh Oh its happening....

Dude, that new VP has had his face plastered over no fewer than 20 emails in September. Still couldn’t pick him out of a lineup if you paid me.

I'm 100% sure they have been at our headquarters. They were there 3-4 years ago though as well, so I'm not sure. But I can confirm that they were there. I'm not speculating a merger at all. Airbus bought our training center. It could be Airbus, JetBlue and the company all meeting about something. It could be anything really. But they have been in and out of there for the past two weeks.

I believe you, I’m just saying that I can’t ID our senior management (unless Wobin speaks). Maybe that’s my bad?

So the “rumor” over here was after the VA thing collapsed we put in an offer for F9 they told us more we offered more they said more we said forget it.

A little later F9 came to us with a number and we said no.

And now this.

Again all total rumor.
I wouldn’t be shocked if we did merge but who knows.

That's what I was told from someone who works in our headquarters.

I could see it especially if we got all the aircraft orders that they have in store. Getting a huge chunk of mco in the process and getting some west coast gates.

Well it would stop the future Spirit Frontier merger.

We would get all the orders

We would have a much better route structure

Respectfully there wouldn’t be a brand/name fight like an Alaska JetBlue merger. I’m pretty sure it would be the JetBlue name with JetBlue management(ehhhh)

Again who knows but it’s certainly a possibility. I think we are just to small we need to bulk up to compete and this would be a quick way of doing it.

Now with oil moving up again and Delta and SWA all over us we need something. It seems like we either buy someone on our terms or we are getting bought and will have little say in anything (elt wise)
