They did, but the FA union nixed the idea.

I don't think the merger will go through. If it does then all you east coasters get to have a lot of fun with that!

I think the merger probably will go thru now that they broke up the JB/AA NE alliance

And LGA is fun. It's OK to have a little challenge sometimes. I'm bored of being vectored onto a 20 mile final to a 12,000 ft runway. And plus, it's a good airport to make extra $

Give me a bunch of LGA day turns or 3/4 leg day turns and I will be more than happy. If anything, I am sure knowing this info, that LGA isn't the only base we will get gates in from this merger. I am sure there will be more, thinking ORD, ATL, or some other areas where they + spirit would have too big of a presence to be allowed.

I know for sure DFW might get some gates out of it as well.

Lots to see whenever more info gets released. I know we didn't just open DFW to sit with our 3 gates or whatever it is there. I am sure they know more.

The agreement for Frontier to take over the holdings is also conditioned upon approval by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, as well as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Transportation (DOT).

Four states have joined the U.S. Justice Department lawsuit aimed at preventing JetBlue Airways from buying rival discount carrier Spirit Airlines for $3.8 billion.

California, Maryland, New Jersey, and North Carolina signed the lawsuit Friday, which was filed in early March.

They join Massachusetts, New York, Connecticut and the District of Columbia in the litigation.

Interesting to see Barry's confidence in this. Maybe count our chickens after they hatch...
