I doubt Frontier just rolls over and doesn't counter.

Frontier isn’t doing squat. The question is whether Indigo wants to finance a bidding war to create a super ULCC in the US, or just do it organically.

JetBlue didn’t when Alaska went big on their offer for Virgin. Everyone has their limits.

Alaska also overpaid for a fleet of leased airplanes, and largest dismantled the entire network, eliminating a competitor.

And you don’t think the JetBlue offer had a self preservation element to it?

Oh, I think it’s a total act of desperation, though a logical one. Looking at a map, JetBlue is cornered in its current markets, unable to really expand due to slot constraints and being closed in on all sides by competitors. It can’t add enough pilots or aircraft to outpace ULCCs from gobbling up every last remaining leisure route, and Delta is bringing in 321neos to cross the Atlantic on JetBlue’s fledgling routes. Further, Spirit (and Frontier) are massive threats to its prized central and South American flying. Spirit has become a major Central American player in less than a decade. The question I have is will the shareholders agree, and will Frontier make a counter offer? I truly think JetBlue + Spirit would be an excellent combination, if executed properly.

I ended up getting their list. There’s one floating around that has both DOH/Rel integrated into it.

Yes, agreed.

I was implying Indigo when stating Frontier.

Indigo is also interested in ITA airlines.

You guys crack me up. Just the other day everyone was gung-ho on NK/F9 and being a mega ULCC. Now there's this talk of JetBlue and you're off to the races to wash that ULCC stank off. The only synergies that merger has is that you're both 8 and 9th in customer complaints out of 9. That's it....Don't forget who you are.... There is not one ounce of synergy....Indigo won't let it happen GUARANTEED, so don't go buying your blue shirt just yet. I love all the graphics though that are being posted.
