What the Luck happened to the Jetblue I used to know? Where's the SPIRIT? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest Flight of our lives, but you're gonna let it be the worst.
I just had to get one more Animal house in.

Icahn and Trump are friends. Icahn is one of the few big names to get involved in the Trump administration who didnt leave on bad terms with him. If Trump wins Icahn will get whatever he wants.

not sure if I see JB merging with a just recently merged Hal/AK. Seems a bit of a stretch but who knows anymore

I'm still wondering how a HA/AK merger can happen, given the DOJ just set precedence by blocking our merger. I also don't understand why a treasury share deal was struck between Spirit and government, and if this is somehow related to the appeal. Thinking about a 3 way JB/HA/AK deal is really putting the cart before the horse.

the best part is a B6/NK/HAL/AK merger would still be significantly smaller to the legacies, lol

Exactly. America doesn’t want Trump. They also don’t want Biden but they WILL pick him again over Trump. If Haley is the nominee she will win in a landslide. Republicans need to decide if they want a loser named Trump or a republican in the White House.
