This Max mess may trigger a merger or two. Mega mergers need an excuse; a recession, bankruptcy, or something such as this.

I doubt it. No one has enough of them besides SWA to take a big hit from parking them for a while, and SWA doesn't need to merge with anyone.

Doubt it, I don’t remember any mergers happening because they grounded the 787. Recession yes, grounded planes no.

Chief Financial Officer Geir Karlsen told an investor presentation “We have 90 neos (A320neo) from Airbus on order. The Airbus 320neos are for all practical purposes for sale. We have started a process where we will try to find a new home for those aircraft”. Karlsen went on to show that Norwegian doesn’t think there is a lack of demand for these aircraft. “The problem is not to sell them … but to get the price we want … Hopefully by the end of the year we should be able to disclose news on a transaction”.

Does not take much research. However, do a little, and it shows all the Norwegian Airbus planes they are shedding. Well, they are headed for a Leasing Company in China.

What’s the latest rumor on a potential aircraft order? Every airline with older A320 seems to be scrambling for more (eg United, Allegiant and every Chinese LCC) while the backlog for new NEOs continues to grow and grow with the MAX issues.

There are many more secondary and tertiary markets to connect out there.... As an example, Allegiant is opening a new base in SAV with 2 based aircraft and 15 nonstop destinations. Dave Neeleman’s MOXY plans to connect many secondary markets and stay away from the bigger hubs. How will Spirit maintain its growth rates without more airframes? Are we talking about a potential decision date this summer? More growth would be great for everybody - including the pax and pilot movement. Any thoughts or latest rumors?

WTHC, it's rumor and conjecture. Dumb.

Dumb? Thanks for your opinion Dad. Just asking for peoples’ thoughts. Who cares if it is conjecture. Ok, let’s hope for no fleet growth and stalled career progression.
