or anyone who lives west of Florida…. Nobody who lives on the west coast or Midwest wants B6 because that’s not their game and there is zero guarantee that B6 keeps any of NK’s Midwest or west bases. Not saying JB isn’t a much better product or that they won’t expand west but there isn’t any proof that people outside of Boston, NY and FL will have a real life if that deal goes through.

B6 literally said one of the reasons they want spirit is to expand in the midwest and west coast and make it their "game"...

Not what I’ve experienced. and it’s interesting you’d say that considering under frontier we would more than likely close ORD, as well as shrink DTW, and DFW

that’s fine but there is no proof that they keep or open bases in those regions because they say they want to expand there.

are you? My claim of B6 having no proof of opening or keeping bases is less naive than you claiming they will essentially adopt a totally new structure because they bought someone who had a different structure.

I have no idea what JetBlue is going to do. It makes sense they would try to expand in the rest of the country. What I do know is ever since F9 announced they were buying us all the sudden were dramatically shrinking ORD (after F9 just closed it) DTW and DFW as well. Not to mention the garbage 1-2 day trips but that’s another topic.

Are you new? What's your position here? Do you think JB is going to acquire Spirit then disband all the midwest bases and send 3000+ pilots to BOS/JFK/FLL and LAX? Really? That's your position?

Fair argument. Just hard not to be skeptical if we get bought by a northeast airline when you live in the southwest.
