Right…for another typically mild virus.

JetBlue is an all around better deal.
The assumption that keeps getting made is that NK/F9 is just going to keep growing organically and become the first super ULCC in the states. Which in normal times might be a fair assumption, would drive long term value guestimations.

It’s not normal times. Staffing this new monster is going to be very difficult. Spirit, for example, is well behind the curve to staff the deliveries it has coming this year. Net positive, but not nearly enough and no anticipated pay raises for employees for the next 5 years. Add Franke/Biffle to that it’ll probably be a 3-4 year knock down drag out fight to get current legacy pay minus a certain percentage.

The B6 merger has some legitimate questions regarding its ability to be completed. The F9 merger has just as legitimate questions that keep getting glossed over under the assumption that “they gotta if they wanna”, and that’s incredibly presumptuous imoho.

Well if we all thought masking was an inconvenience, wait until he announces his spread prevention method for monkey pox - wrapping yourself in plastic wrap while out in public or when you will be closer than six feet to others. We will see people jogging alone on outdoor running trails looking like a shiny, plastic mummy.
