Maybe I am missing something, however weren’t those slots always American’s and they were just letting Jetblue use them through the NEA? With Jetblue pulling flying from the northeast due to the ATC shortage, they give the slots back and now it’s American’s problem to utilize them. Right now their regionals sure don’t have the pilots to fill those slots and It would seem that American would be under pressure to keep those slots. This appears to be a bigger problem for American than Jetblue but I’m just a line pilot and it’s above my pay grade.

JetBlue says it's "Studying the judgement" and "evaluating our next steps".
They should save the time and effort they're spending on this study by just reading this thread. No need for a long report -- it can clearly be explained in 2 or 3 sentences 🙂

“Studying the judgement”🙄…translation: coming up with a way to spin this as a “poor us” to the judge for the merger

Looks to me like Blue gets to keep all Spirits gates/slots in the northeast now...

I would say the investment community believes this is not a trivial situation.
Tell me you don’t understand investor relations without telling me you don’t understand investor relations.

Expand elsewhere.....to me that stinks of less profitable.

Can’t get much less profitable than the ~30% or worse load factors of BOS-LGA.

seeing as the company doesn’t believe in profit sharing IDGAF.

If it forces diversification at the cost of a little profitability I’m all for it.

Agree, company doesn't want us to care about profitability.
