The investors won’t allow the airline to burn through the remaining amount just because. Bankruptcy is happening.

as mentioned the 27th will be telling. Perhaps revised estimates but certainly a posted loss. Operational
efficiencies will be blamed on the government and ATC. The lone good news will come in the on going spirit saga. I’m looking forward hear the tone in Jamie Bakers voice and JG makes more excuses for the airline’s shortcomings.
Why should we start prepping for a large winter storm, when we are deciding on our favorite DR livery?

Step 1: Wait for others to deliver their #s, the good and the bad.
Step 2: Take only the good and apply it to your airline
Step 3: Hope it really applies to your airline
Step 4: Give a forecast with the good sometime in the future

It seems like the sentiments from the already-reported airlines are that the "premium" customer offset/ significantly helped out the underperforming leisure customer...I hope we can say that.

I got ya (only because I'm sitting in the crashpad and I happened to read my emails).
How much extra $ does a paint job like that cost? (suppose I could research that while sitting here too)

They'll just paint a plane that needed a paint job anyway. It won't cost anymore.

Alaska reported earnings.

Achieved single operating certificate for Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines
Reported earnings per share of $0.18, with adjusted earnings per share of $0.43, ahead of expectations and previous guidance range
Generated $1.2 billion in operating cash flow for the full year

Nice earnings for AS.

How can Alaska earn that much money? They don’t even fly to the Dominican Republic.

As earnings are on the 27th it’s important to note 11-12% of jetblue routes overlap with spirit. Modest at best. I don't see how Spirit shrinking, or ceasing to exist, truly benefits Jetblue. United, according to Kirby, cracked the code on ULCC pricing and can offer that low fare on a limit seating basis making largely negating spirits affect to the bottom line. Delta and AA have followed suit.

Agree for the most part. NK ceasing to exist removes low fare competitive pressure in FLL, which would allow JB to add capacity with seemingly little competitive response. I’m not sure it will be so easy, and some other competitor is bound to show up.

JB isn’t in a strong position to compete considering our financials. Any battle in FLL is likely to be short lived.
