thanks for the bite. Who says 33 is a gain? (It is for me) but your assuming all shareholders cost basis is below $33. What of your cost basis is $28 a share ? You make what ? A whopping $5000 (all my calculations based off hypothetical 1000 shares) which becomes taxable. Now how much profit do you have ? What if your cost basis is $38.. then you just had a loss. Perhaps some of those folks might wanna take the long game and more shares of ULCC and see if they can get back in the black. Like I mentioned above .. ULCC needs only To reach $16 a share (based on todays prices) for the deal to be even money. I’ll take that bet

JB has been pursuing NK for the last several years, according to Robin Hayes. Spirit's BOD refused to engage.

As for Spirit bases, last time I checked Spirit had a base in DTW, and was opening ATL??? I haven't looked for a couple days, but does Delta still have an ATL operation?

And if you look at JB's infographic on the combined Spirit+JB network it shows a doubling of flights in LAX. While LAX isn't a Spirit crew base, it does offer a doubling of JB's footprint in LAX, which is a base for both JB and Delta...

Yeah, they said in a town hall that network and base diversity is something JetBlue’s needed for some time, and this will help jumpstart it. They didn’t specifically say what would stay and go, but they aren’t going to just axe the spirit network/bases. Some, but definitely not all. Wouldn’t be surprised if they ended up opening more as well. There isn’t enough room in NYC/BOS for much additional aircraft/pilots. I think DTW ORD DFW LAS stay. Not sure about ACY. Just my optimistic $.02.

Bright enough to recognize that condescending remarks and unwarranted personal attacks are probably just a projection of massive insecurities, or a manifestation of Narcissistic Personality Disorder, but not quite bright enough to figure out which one you suffer from. But by all means, please carry on with telling us more about how you are the indisputable expert on everything.

DFW is interesting, given the NEA with American. I can see it playing out multiple ways.

You do know where DFW is located and what the NEA stands for right?
