Could the screens make the 717/88/90 a common category?

I've been thinking the same thing Ferd, AA and USAir both have bases in BOS and cover the east coast pretty well.

If RA2 wants to get back into the BOS-NYC-Florida market they ran away from after they shuttered Song and Express, and get more gates and more feed into JFK, for International connections, buying JB would do it.

Now that SWA killed off Air Tran, DL could do the same to JB, and finally eliminate the $49 fares to Florida.

I'm sure that's the idea/business case.

I'm enjoying the time off because either a) I'm going to be displaced into something that works for a living or b) My wife goes back to work during the week and I'll be bidding weekends for child care as well. I feel your pain.

In AH it went up to 14.90 but the market cap is going to go up by $700 Million by AM, I hope based on 162.47 million shares and a market cap of $2.38 billion. LCC's share is $3.080 billion. I think the opening price will be close to $19 per share?
How's that working out?

Likely a very good move. The smart money has moved on.
