Who says they can't still merge in the future?

It also cost us half a billion dollars.

Maybe they can still merge, but it appears to have prevented it thus far. And yes, it was a costly move, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't the right move, or that it wasn't effective.

Attrition here has been lower than forecast.

I don't see how any of those factors make JetBlue more attractive than the Big 3 for a pilot having to choose today.
