An economic downturn on the horizon, massive integration costs, a bloated offer... It's clear why JetBlue wants Spirit, it's to stop a frontier merger.
I fully expect the work groups to get screwed when they decide to use spirit as a fleet replacement, rather than growth.
I don't get how anyone at any of the 3 airlines involved can support a NK B6 merger.

JetBlue was indeed preparing an offer for Spirit in 2020:
"JetBlue was able to move quickly on a counterbid in part because Goldman had already polished the outline of a Spirit takeover in early 2020, according to people familiar with the matter. That plan -- derailed when the Covid-19 pandemic nearly wiped out air travel -- was revived during a spate of meetings held on Zoom, as well as some in person at Goldman’s Manhattan offices and JetBlue’s headquarters in Long Island City, New York, working under the codename Project Exchange."

Could one of you all post the junior CA Doh for each base/equip please?? Seems your APC page is dated (old rates & other info.).
Thanks!
