JetBlue bids for Spirit Airlines

This has nothing to do with being woke, but nice try. If proving your loyalty to (I don't even know what after all these years) means you turn down millions of potential doll... you know what... Never mind... This guy is a role model and we should all be so awesome.
I'll try not to be so retarded next time.

Just curious, but can you articulate why avoiding this particular vaccine is worth millions of dollars to you?

Purely conjecture of course, but which NK domiciles do you see B6 absorbing & which do you think will be done away with?

Dude is trolling. And not even all that well really. Too over the top in order to elicit responses. I mean even Bandwagon on BPs isn't this obvious.

NK guy here
B6 has stated they want to expand westwards with this purchase. If NK is bought, JetBlue will look like a completely different company at least network wise. This purchase is not about killing a competitor but having a more comprehensive network overnight and ready to go. There’s a good chance B6 will keep all or almost all the bases and add some others specially as the A220 starts growing and its potential is developed.
LAX will become big base. Spirit does particularly well in LAX in all markets including mid-continent. LAS has the potential to keep growing not only domestically but international. There you have 2 big WC bases. MCO has been good to NK. The international side of MCO was growing quickly until Covid hit. It’s coming back and there’re plenty of opportunities there.
NK just announced a maintenance hangar at IAH. It’s been rumored as a base for a while now and I still believe it will happen sooner than later. It’s a huge market and NK has been building a pretty interesting network out of IAH, including some international flights.
Spirit is trying to shrink ORD and DTW. After the merger I can see JetBlue pounding on ORD and maybe steering away from DTW. They’re 2 different markets.
ACY’s future for sure would be uncertain with this merger. If you ask me it has less than 50% chance of surviving, but who knows.
BWI was growing at a fast pace right up until Covid. It’s still a very friendly airport cost and space-wise. The new B6 could charge on SW there.
DFW’s future is uncertain. IAH has grown bigger and DFW has remained stagnant. AA has been blocking us so who knows what B6 would do.
It’s hard to tell how the new B6 would look like. Some costumers would be lost and some others will be gained.

Considering the amount of diversions we did to ACY last summer they ought to keep that one open as well.
