JetBlue buying Frontier?
https://blog.wandr.me/2017/08/musing...blue-frontier/
I know the article is old. It has been quiet. I think this could happen very soon. I'm just sayin'
I am not trying to act like I know what I am talking about.
Thoughts?

Well, make your case. Why do you think it's happening and what have you seen/heard to make you think it's happening?
I know we made several big-money a while back, but indigo wanted the moon.
It is WELL within the realm of possibility, but I haven't seen or heard anything lately.
Plus, Frontier doesn't even have any hubs in the D.R., so probably not interested.

*The pilot group is ready to burn that place down. They could be "saved"
*We really don't have much overlap and they do some midwest stuff if thats where we would like to dabble.
*They have aircraft on order and could allow is to go a different route....possibly wide?
*They have no regional flying that would be required not to have if we ratify on Friday with our scope.
*They have a west coast presence and may just enough for what JetBlue needs and or wants?
*They are private which they don't have to disclose much.
*Is there any coincidence with our TA and the pressure the pilots at Frontier are starting to put on management to get this done rather than draw it out?

However, I don't think there is any coincidence about our TA and Frontier pilots actions, but Frontier pilots unrest might push indigo to settle with their pilots or sell.
Have you seen or heard any recent signs that JB is still pursuing Frontier?

I think it would be bold to stroll into DEN when Southwest and United basically hold a monopoly. We would need to either go head to head with them both or sell the gates. You would gain a few slots here and there that are valuable ... etc DCA, LAX, SFO. Is that worth it ?? Maybe?
We would also be taking on a lot of destinations that work well for ULCC's (2-3 day service only , skirt airports) that I don't think would work well for Jetblue.
But then again what do I know? ..... absolutely nothing.

It would be a pretty good airline.
