Because I’m guessing buying a company isn’t as easy as logging into Ameritrade and hitting buy. If they decided to buy on a short term drop in price, by the time the deal is done, the stock price could be back to normal.

I highly doubt the stock price will be back to normal by summer. It was about 21.75 a month ago. It could take a year to get back to that level.

Warren walking the crew room in FLL yesterday. Pizza cart behind him. Pizza is the grim reaper at jetblue. Where it appears for free bad things will follow.

So...when JetBlue breaks under $10 a share do we think merger will become inevitable? We could actually see that number tomorrow.

no, we should mortgage more planes to buy back stock to raise the share price.

I don’t know, when I was hired in 2011 it was like 5 bucks.
Yet we are still single.

United just borrowed $2 billion...

I was told I was woefully ignorant for saying JB could use some of its fortress balance sheet to buy some used Airbus at a massive discount because of the pandemic, you must be tectonically stratospherically universally globally and regionally ignorant for saying someone might buy AN ENTIRE AIRLINE!

How can you be SO epically stupid?!?

Not directed at you Localizer...
