    I'm kinda wondering why Spirit and Frontier haven't gotten in bed together yet...Common fleet, common cost structure. And to think that Frontier used to be a decent airline to fly!!

    But there's no way that any further merger of the Big 3 should ever get approved...

    Why would they? Both making very large profits. Don't airlines usually merge when one of airlines is about to fall apart?
