You need some new material, that fantasy has been circulating for a number of years now.

It started from a motley fool hypothetical article in 2018 or so. It will never ever happen that way

That's probably BS because if it were happening, it wouldn't be leaking out. That's a pretty major SEC violation. If someone is talking about it it's just their speculation and appearing to be some kind of insider. So basically par for airline pilots.

If it's a real M&A you'll hear nothing until the day its announced, but you'll see management acting strangely.

Yes, anyone close to the flag pole should be able to observe unusual activity at the HQ, strange people coming and going, etc.

Also agree that anyone who was actually "read in" to the project would keep his mouth shut, on pain of prosecution. But leaks happen, so it's not utterly implausible.

But how on earth would they re-brand that 3-way? OCONUS Air?

Notice how nobody at the other airlines are talking about this… just a bunch of pot stirring by the resident troll.

Last numbers I have seen:
Summer 2025
156 NG
109 MAX
0 Airbus
(55 MAX FLEX) 2023-2028
Right now Boeing is trying to sell AS on MAX8’s, we prefer MAX9’s and MAX10’s...


Do you remember me writing this from the top of this thread? What was that date? When was this order actually announced?🤔🙄🥱…. Sure just a troll! I think in early October most of you on here still thought 30 more 321’s were coming.

Look into the future my friend. Tell me something that AS is about to do 60 days from now, something big. Drop that info right here and in 360 days, we can all publicly grade your work. I think you might be the troll my friend.

JetBlue, JetBlue Alaska, and JetBlue Hawaiian. 3 sub brands on one certificate still maintaining their regional name and niche until products and everything are fully integrated and aligned and jetblue brand recognition has spread out in the other current regions (a few years?) until they can all operate under one eventually worldwide brand. At least that’s how I’d do it if I were king.
