Not that interesting and definitely within the normal trading range of the stock. Were it to jump 30%, 40% that would raise an eyebrow. But a few % either way is nothing .

That makes sense

I would love nothing more than for DL, UA or hell even AA to buy us. That said, I don't think it'll ever happen, and a few percentage points of movement on our stock doesn't indicate anything.

Yes absolutely. Get out the bleach and start washing those shirts baby!

uuuuuuuggghh NOPE

Maybe Beeeze will buy jetBlue. Hell the planes literally look the same from the outside these days lol

Hey the good news is Joanna has nixed the very popular opinion that we should join an alliance! We’re slowly whittling away the rumors to find the turd nugget within!

It's become clear there are no big plans for the next year or two. I don't think there's any secret plan behind the scenes. What you see is what you get. At least that's what this management team is doing. It's frustrating to watch others make moves and do well while we stagnate and become a marginally bigger version of the airline we were 10-15 years ago. This business is ciclycal so I hope this is just a trough.

That was a non answer from Joanna. It wasn't a no, it was a not right now. She's right that there's costs and complexities associated with joining an alliance. It takes significant investment in aligning reservation and other IT systems with the alliance, marketing, training staff, etc. Jetblue would also need a product that's desirable for an alliance to acquire. An airline with operational reliability issues, no lounges or domestic first class available fleetwide for customers with reciprocal elite status to utilize isn't an attractive proposition for a global alliance to add to their portfolio. Heck, lack of a well defined brand and network are causes for concern too.

Of those shortcomings, Jetblue is fixing the first, adding the second, and rumored to add the third sometime soon, and you can't go a week without hearing the words east coast leisure and vfr. If Jetblue remains independent, the odds are pretty high it will join a global alliance once all of those initiatives have hit full stride.

To be clear I did not think DAL was buying B6. AA is possible? Delta down 3% and Jetblue up 5% is actually pretty rare.
