Their airplanes have the CFM engines which I've heard time and time again from our maintenance people that Mirimar is adamant against. Not an impossibility but I would think an improbability seeing the need for manuals, parts, spares, training, etc.

I'm sure JetBlue or Delta will snag up the VX Airbuses. Having nice comfortable interiors is more up their alley.

Yet they sent all of the 737 and 717 guys through 737 training anyway....

I think a merger or acquisition is inevitable. Just a matter of time.
