That has not been the case with the Airbus.

I don’t think we would taking on any CFMs as was the case with the EasyJet 319s, but I could see us taking other aircraft off lease if production targets keep slipping.

UAL has far more money and resources than B6 to help grease the the wheels of the DOJ. It ain't even close.

Not saying they want or should, but any of the major players could definitely make it happen.

So does AAL, and their code sharing agreement with B6 was shot down. This simply isn't going to be approved in the Biden administration

It would seem you have not been paying much attention to just how ideologically opposed this administration is to ANYONE mergering with ANYONE ELSE. It goes well beyond grease with this crowd, unfortunately. AK-HA will be the next casualty unless there is a big change in DC this November.

Almost half of United's planes are now ULCC seats (basic economy) and exactly the reason Spirit is struggling. Many of Spirit's past customers are now United's current clientele. Who knows, maybe they could pull it off if they present the deal properly.

Sounds like after the last 2 days of news reports, we are on the 5 yard line for a A321 deal.

Line rumors from 25-300 more.
