I think you're right though, I can see consolidations between those five, but my guess would be some sort of Frontier/Allegiant mix, rather than the others. They're all too remarkedly different to really integrate. I wouldn't imagine Virgin, JetBlue, or Spirit would merge with any of the others. Getting bought out could be a different story though, but I would imagine not for a LONG time, not whole they're staying solvent or in the case of JetBlue and Spirit profitable.
ALL of this is just my extremely uneducated guess.

Improbable, but not unimaginable.

I don't think the customer service is that poor. I have witnessed time and time again Gate agents who are more than willing to help people out/answer questions as nicely as possible. People throw a fit when they get tagged with a "FEE" and get ****ed off when they have to pay it, they then consider this poor customer service. What it really is, is people inability to READ & COMPREHEND what they are paying for and what they will have to pay for when they buy a ticket.
The worst customer service I have ever witnessed was from Continental Gate agents. By far the most vindictive, miserable SOB I have ever met.
