Default Merger/acquisition

NK is going to be the third largest carrier at ORD....who are we buying?? Even with our current AC orders, it doesn’t add up.

This would explain why frontier didn’t add more gates/real state with the new ORD terminal...and we doubled.

I believe NK has been number 3 in ORD for a number of years. Is there a new article or announcement out?

No offense, seriously, but NK couldn’t afford to buy F9 for what Indigo THINKS it’s worth. And the move to T5 will double the number of usable gates. Now whether or not they use those gates to add flying remains to be seen.

You're point is valid. What the seller "thinks" it's worth. NK doesn't value F9 the same way Indigo does. Indigo is a "pumper and dumper". They're trying to build a market value so they can sell F9. Trick is finding a buyer. Why pay a premium when we can just purchase aircraft and slowly "cherry pick" markets with very little debt. NK just keeps adding aircraft so we can make sure America gets a sun burn. We fly to Sun and fun with games of chance!

Considering how over-the-top bidding went for Virgin America, I'm sure there will be a couple of airlines that get into a bidding war when F9 is put into play.

That's exactly how I feel about how Bob and Ted are running us.

^^^ YES
Bob was "short term" from day one. His "behavior" proved it time and time again. Who announces their retirement a year in advance?...
Ted is just continuing the plan, he is a finance man, which further indicates that they plan to sell or merge.
Which may be better than what we currently have, since our work rules are not above average anymore.
