You think jetblue will want (be allowed by AA) to compete in DFW with AA and spoil their NEA?

Basically it’s still a toss up to then. I appreciate the opinions of what to expect for the DFW base. Currently living in Dallas, it would be a huge blow to lose Dfw or not even get a chance to live at base. I would think if Jet Blue acquires Spirit that all bases not on the coast are going to be closed.
I would call that unlikely. It wouldn’t surprise me if B6 would eventually shutter the bases in ORD and DFW, but they absolutely want to grow across the country in places where they are not in direct competition with AA who has a beneficial relationship with them in the r NE. DTW, ATL, LAS seem to fit the bill. ACY/PHL probably less so. IAH? Who knows? I don’t think anyone has any clue how this eventually shakes out from the jet bridge to the C suite, but I suspect the all coast based airline is probably the least probable outcome. |

F9 = ORD/DFW/DTW smaller, if not gone JB = WANTS to grow in the rest of the country, so why not use our existing bases to do so? |

There are rumors abound that DFW will be our next base since it has just as many daily departures or very close to the same amount as PHX opening up. ORD did shut down in what seems like a fit of rage against pilots but the FA base is still open. DTW? What makes you think that? The other rumored bases over the years have been CVG and CLE. DTW fills that spot nicely plus doesn't NK already have maintenance facility there? F9 also “WANTS to grow the rest of the country so why not use the existing bases to do so?” F9 wants to be a real competitor just like B6. They have the exact same goal. Grow. You’re just guessing like the rest of us and passing it off as fact. |

AA will gently tell (remind) JetBlue that AA is the food supply behind NE Alliance. Don't crap where you eat. They will also say we don't need you taking AA mainline customers at our fortress hub DFW
If anyone thinks different, they do not know how AA operates. My 2 cents |

If JetBlue "wins" then yes, expect it to close. They have already made public statements that they plan to "divest" the Spirit assets and branding in favor of the JetBlue business model.
