Default B6 plans

I know it’s all speculation, but does B6 buy NK to eventually become like the big 3? Or more like an all Airbus version of WN? What do you guys think is likely?

Management has stated it intends to become a challenger to the Big 3 vs something like WN. I believe they will hold true to that statement considering the JB model already challenges the Big 3 in terms of onboard product, the only thing missing is scale. Merging with NK provides some immediate scaling ability (planes, pilots, gates, staffing, etc) to grow the JB business model.

It’s just business. Grow or die. Has nothing to do with “becoming like the big three.”
It’s how do we compete, grow and pay shareholders?

Its about keeping us from being bought. if we are bought our BOD goes the way of the NK BOD. This is a play to keep that from happening.

Same reason Alaska bought Virgin. It wasn’t like they really wanted the Airbuses. And they didn’t keep many of the junior people.

TBD

Impossible to determine at the moment. The Jetblue battleship has a rudder the size of a notebook. Where Jetblue sails to has more to do with the overall general state of the economy and actions of competitors than the actions of management.

We’re more of a hot air balloon than a ship.
