You say that like it is something to be proud of? Read the slide deck on the jetblue website. Lots of variables at play here.[/QUOTE]

I’m really not sure how you were able to extract my emotions out of a statement of fact.

I could be wrong, but I guess we will see after June 10th.
They see Spirit as a good acquisition. They believe they have cause with their offer and the fact NK BOD is not dealing in good faith or on behalf of their shareholders best fiduciary interest. It's not desperation. It's business. They let VA walk after AK overpaid. Had they been desperate they could have countered AK. I am not confident in how this ends up either way, but there's so much going on behind the scenes we'll never see. We're all making guesses and trying to read the tea leaves based on what both sides have put out so far. As you said, we'll see on June 10th.

It’s people that just want to remember what freedom feels like. They look like that because blue states take all of their money.

They were just waiting for the NK/F9 proxy vote date to be published (which was announced last Weds for June 10th), they needed to know that date to back up the minimum required 20 business days resulting in…. Drumroll…..16 May. Today was THE day to pull the trigger to allow the minimum amount of time for NK to mount their defense and still be legal with the SEC.

Predictions are easier if you know what to look for and keep emotions out of it!

Those who didn’t interject emotions knew this was far from over. Going to be an interesting next couple of months.

What’s with all of the hostility babe?

U mad because I changed my merger status to “it’s complicated” ?

Getting all hostile when I be talking to Green, I ain’t gonna lie we kickin it for a minute… but don’t even play like you ain’t sliding up in Big Grey’s DMs on that sugar daddy site trying to get your NEA on.
