Let’s not overstate things.
UA put out an 8k to say they haven’t begun mutual discussions with an Airline as of that day. They never said the won’t. And to JonNYCs credit, he never said United approached any airline. He just stated that they have internal interest. I still think there is something there.
Yesterday the company denied any rumors put out up to today, in relation to United, Alaska, and southwest.
I still think AA is the play. But I DO agree that it’s time to stop thinking an announcement is coming in the next few weeks or months even.

I repeat, this is the definition of insanity . But sure, believe whatever you would like . Even though the facts/truth are laid out right in front of you .

You must not have been here during the Virgin America process. Same email, different shades of Blue.
I need to use more emojis cuz the mention of "unlimted cookies" was too vague in my seriousness of my post.
Sure I have no idea what's going to happen and hope it's not Southwest, only because they work too hard. My 17.67 hours a month will be just a thing of the past.
At least we'll get the 3-2-1 (praying emoji here).
What I will guarantee, when and IF there's a merger, Trump will be in a ceremony of some sort. Won't be just a remark from the oval office, an actual event. I will wager a beer anywhere in N.E. So when the announcement and event occurs, bid a PWM,MHT, BOS overnight and I'll come and claim my beverage.

Listening to the Barclays web cast its evident Jetblue wants to go at this alone (to the detriment of every employee IMO) and is focused on matching the product of big three carriers. They admitted the west coast is dead and wont be returning, GTF issues will peak this year or next and the CC/Airline points are of great focus, providing the fanatical Jetblue customer the ability to "earn and burn". Industry growth is flat yet NE growth is 3% which means airlines are attacking Jetblue markets. They want to grow but that can't be accomplished until the financial house is in order and they feel confident in the plan. Jetblue continues to blame most of its operational woes on ATC and weather.

JonNYC’s tweet said his sources told him UA is looking heavily at a JB merger or acquiring assets . UA’s 8k completely denies anything of the sort . Thats for one . It seemed like you are also implying that because United put out that statement weeks ago, they couldn’t be in talks now .
Nothing the company is doing at the current moment remotely looks like they are looking at a merger. They have said they are talking with multiple airlines about an alliance . That’s all . Everything else they are doing and saying shows that they plan to be going at this alone in right sizing the ship *all in with JetFoward. If they fail to do so. Sure, who knows what is possible .

“The Company is not in negotiations or discussions with any other airline regarding a merger, acquisition or similar strategic transaction and has not been in any recent discussions with any airlines regarding the same”
I don’t see how anyone can read this and come to any conclusion other than United has NOT approached an airline to discuss m&a. There is nothing more and nothing less to take from that 8-k filing, thus not disproving anything jonNYC said. Now other click baiting bloggers took, jonNYCs tweet, and made an entire story about it, and filled in gaps that weren’t there.
Nothing in that 8k filing covers internal interest, or shuts down the possibility of a discussion at a later date.
id say insanity, is reading what isn’t there.

That’s correct. The 8k filing is very Specific:
“The Company is not in negotiations or discussions with any other airline regarding a merger, acquisition or similar strategic transaction and has not been in any recent discussions with any airlines regarding the same”

It disproves everything his tweet said . He said UA is heavily looking at B6. UA SPECIFICALLY said they aren’t . I don’t understand why someone would take that for anything else. Including thinking “well, maybe they are talking now” after the 8k was put out . That is nothing more than a hope and a dream.
Seems like we might be headed in circles now . So there is where I’ll get off . If UA does end up acquiring us or anybody else for that matter. I’ll gladly be wrong

We’ll see how “jet forward” goes, as long as the lights are on, and growth happens soon I’ll be happy
