I also think that their plans can change as fast as the weather, either way, we’re all just along for the ride.
A merger is definitely very long term thinking. I’m not sure the fuel spike would impact that. Very true there might not be a buyer or the right price but if you can grab us cheap it might be the only time. You never know who will be the next administration.

Yeah, they were up late last night tweeting about ending a civilization. Wonder what that will do for the energy sector?

Saying oil will come down is like saying the sun is going to rise.

BOS/JFK, possibly even SJU now, at the bottom. EWR then FLL in the middle, LA and MCO tossup at the top….probably something along those lines

BOS/JFK also has the Europe flying seats that are a separate bid so there’s that…

I mean who wouldn’t want to do a few short turns on day one after a commute to end up at the Buffalo Airport hotel…next day deadhead to JFK with a screaming kid behind you and then fly a redeye over the North Atlantic to Heathrow…all for a min day guarantee trip….but you get to say you’re a Transatlantic pilot to the chick next to you at the bar in the Aloft
