If Jetblue had more gates in LAX then they could tell LGB authorities to play ball or else JB could really shut down completely and move everything to LAX.
Also, imagine if JetBlue had the VA gates in DAL. How many DCA/LGA slots do you think SWA would give up in order to get those DAL gates?? I'd bet it would be quite a significant amount.
Then they could expand the Mint service to all west coast markets and not have to worry about VA. They would have arguably one of the top First class transcon products, and the lowest fare of anyone.

But seriously
VA is our only competitor in customer service
so merging with them could be really good
