Default Who is Mostly likely to buy JetBlue

In this age of rampant speculation, figured it'd be fun to see who everyone thought is the most likely suitor.

I can’t see the DOJ (even a new DOJ) allowing any of the above to buy us with the exception of AS, but AS is busy with the HA merger. So I selected we will remain independent.

If the AS merger gets shot down then I could see us merging with them in a few years.

Thread on BluePilots has Icahn buying it all and selling us off for parts. Also possible I guess.

I think we’re worth more in pieces than as a whole, but I don’t t know if that’s a realistic outcome or not.

I think as far as networks go ours would fit best with SWA over anyone else. Just that pesky Airbus issue, oh and the largest domestic carrier getting bigger.

The 737 Max delays might have made them realize diversifying the fleet is necessary.
