I don't see anything about Jetblue going, only Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, and Avelo.

It is broken. It’s being actively exposed. That’s where the consolidating will be. Not United. But someone is merging and getting acquired.

So we’re going to take several unprofitable companies with an unprofitable business model and merge them into a larger company with the same unprofitable business model and expect different results?

Let’s merge them and then introduce a bunch of government money. It worked out great for the British auto manufacturers in the 1970s. Look how many British built Triumphs and Austin cars you see these days.

No. They’re all actively changing their models. But consolidation of two failing airlines into one massive one is how Delta came to power. The LCC space will get their own round of consolidation.

this is exactly what’s going to happen. F9 NK JB merger and the govt will throw a little operating cash in the deal. They will look good for saving the low cost market for consumers as none of them will survive on their own.

These articles read like another attempt at getting some clicks and it managed to get some traction this time so we're talking about it again. When Spirit goes, it'll be like Silver. One day we'll walk past their counter/gate, and they just wont be there. Damn shame for their people but hopefully everyone has their apps out and logbooks updated.
