Actually our guys give your company credit. It’s not pretending to be something it isn’t.

Now if you want to see people looking down their nose at a pilot group just say JetBlue is merging with one of the big three and watch the insults from the big guys.

I actually think Spirit and Blue wouldn’t be that bad of an idea.

Blue + yellow makes green...guess that puts everyone in the F9 paint scheme. I'm cool with it, as long as they keep hiring and growing.

Well Im not confident we can survive this as a company on our own, and certainly not without significant reductions in labor. I fear this is about to super suck. Also, buy more airline puts. Cant imagine a scenario where a 30 day europe ban provides a boost to the transport sector.

We (Blue) have more than enough embarrassment of our own!

I do think B6/NK would make a lot of sense.

People don’t quit flying because oil is expensive. This is not a standard downturn.
