I'm definitely a bit surprised.

I guess we will have one giant ULCC in the country.
No way the DOJ lets that happen, only one ULCC in the country? And it's two airlines people hate. They would have had a better chance with the JB merger and JB just making spirit go away. The flying public in general doesn't like Spirit anyway and wouldn't care if JB took over.

With your intelligence, the holding company you run must be outperforming Indigo…

That's exactly the argument they're making. A mega ULCC has the ability to "compete" and be a more viable product. Seems like most complaints about ULCCs are the lack of frequency/reliability which they're claiming will be mitigated when both ULCCs merge.

What an idiot. Did you just say that?

NOBODY is going to allow JetBlue to eliminate the largest ULLC in the country. B6 is obviously scared to death of this merger.

This is not correct. Not really going to get into the why because I don't care

F9/NK will be big, nationwide ULCC but technically there will be Allegiant, Sun Country and Avelo also competing in the ULCC market.

True Sun country/Allegiant/Avelo will still be competing in the ULCC market but compared with a F9/NK merger they don’t have nealy the market share that new company would. At the end of the day none of what happens is up to any of us.

Family metaphor… OK. Most families have a ‘cousin Eddie’ on some level. I see this as Spirit deciding they want to be a Clark and not an Eddie.
