jetBlue extra Thirsty for NK now…….

I think it's complicated. JB wants more Newark timings, obviously. If it got them, they would be JB's. But they have also said they will divest Spirit's NE assets. So now that they are Spirit's, maybe JB would have to or volunteer to give them up in order to gain DOJ approval?

Or maybe they get their cake and eat it too.

Whats more valuable for JBlU going forward the NEA or these new slots? If they have to protect one and sacrifice one for the DOJ (IF), what do they choose.

wow that’s good for Spirit. Maybe we could do well with EWR-DFW in addition to LGA-DFW.

we really need some new flying in DFW right now! Or even DTW.

Sorry another ignorant question, does one slot count as a takeoff and landing?

or is one slot a take off or a landing.
