if they pull a stunt like that before they pay the past due bill on billions of dollars in contract improvements, it will be ugly. But honestly, I don’t see the merger thing being a player. Jmho.

I would think it is more likely a couple of regionals merge, or go out of business.

Gary Kelly is itching to make an announcement. IMHO, he isn't going to let the 50th anniversary come and go w/out something huge...something that was planned pre-pandemic. WN has more cash than debt and it won't go to waste. Could it be

Hawaiian
JetBlue
Alaska
Frontier
Spirit
....or EVEN BIGGER

only 69 (great number) until they're GOLDEN

How much do we want to bet that some form of consolidation occurs within the next 2 years? Covid has reshuffled the whole deck. Some ambitious CEO is going to want to make a splash and jump ahead of the competition.
