When should we know which acquisition NK is going to accept? Frontier, JetBlue?

Once Simbian and Bluedriver decide how it will work.

We will know once a third airline makes their offer.

I actually feel like that’s likely once the first dance partner is finalized. Either to delay the process to hope the merger falls apart or for their own plan for diabolical airline domination.

And yeah, total directional failure on my part “west of MCO”.

I really do not expect any or hardly any base closures short/medium term. And long term I expect if there are any there will also be growing bases west of MCO.

I know they want more bases, but have been cautious to open one. Closing one is a whole nother problem...

Just my assessment.

I wouldn’t expect any base closures.

What is NK pilots' view of ACY? That seems like an ULCC haven but not sure it would work with JB's network. I like all the other ones though. Would instantly give JB massive presence in the Midwest and Southwest.
