This list is likely to show all options are currently being explored but the merging partner(s) have likley been decided.
28" pitch seats can be changed quickly as well as getting "rid" of comp. out of SE FL into the carb/cent/S America.... A320's with more on order.

The benefits might not be there for this merger and AA would likely loose most control over their feed and they might not want this!
Not only all that, but what SLI would F9 even bring to the table to begin negotiations anyway? Their current airbus list or the entire Republic "air group" list?

Asset acquisition and offer of employment from RAH a'la TWA. As S80's are parked these buses would be included for displacements. Mixed in with a nice little feed contract for other RAH carriers would relieve RAH's illustrious CEO of his Frontier albatross and prop up his RJ business in one swoop.
