Jetblue and AA merger noise
#11
The analogy was meant to reflect the total difference in companies, not the quality of their service. However, if you think about it, on Jetblue you pay less usually than you would on AA, but you get way more. Same with Motel 6. You pay less, but get free breakfast and free Internet. At Marriot you would pay more and still not get free Internet and breakfast.

If you are comparing JetBlue service to the First Class cabin then I understand the comparison. But if you compare JetBlue's coach class and customer service to AA's coach JetBlue wins hands down. Sorry, but AA coach service is terrible in comparison.

We've heard the same rumblings at Eagle about AA and Jetblue. While aa and b6 do have a lot of overlap keep in mind that might be exactly what AA wants.
Buying B6 ensures that AA can continue to compete in the NYC market against DAL and the proposed ual/cal.
As far as the overlap is concerned, AA desperately needs 100 aircraft. What better way to gain them than remove the overlapped routes and free up the E-190s for the routes that AA needs them for. AA gets 100 seat aircraft and crews to fly them on the (relatively) cheap. Bonus: no union mergers to hang the deal up!
just speculation...
