Are you saying your opinion is that the merger decision will be reversed? Or did I read your opinion incorrectly?

I agree, Pratt and it's suppliers have made a mess of JetBlue's growth plans. And I have no illusions about our new "investor" or our CBA prospects in the short term.

As for the order, I still think it is highly likely it was placed by JB, likely contingent on the NK outcome, and was part of a package deal that included revising the delivery schedule for our previous order book. I never claimed to be 100% positive, but I remain fairly convinced. I also reserve the right to be wrong on this one. And will admit I was if another airline claims the order. Until then, we wait. I was wrong that one time before...

I don’t see how both the Merger and NEA arguably opposite opinions on who our company is and how it effects the industry can both be blocked, but no one asked me except you.
