If the regulatory authorities ever allow an acquisition/merger of this size in an already shrinking competitive environment, full validation of the corrupt nature of government. On the other hand, wouldn’t be surprised as T-Mobile/Sprint merger was given green light, further eroding consumer options.

Agree in regards to Tmobile/Sprint...

It is a matter of time before we see another wave where B6, AS, HA, NK, and maybe F9 get eaten up by the Big 4. UA+B6, WN+AS, AA+HA, DL+NK?

Completely agree. Won’t happen. Consumers want and need more choice.

Guys I’m not sure what you’re passivagresively arguing about...

JetBlue will grow organically. They’ve said it for years. It’s in the secret sauce.
No mergers ever. And the silly VA thing you’re going to bring up... that was a scheme to get Alaska to pay way too much. We didn’t even want them.
