Nothing about this is rocket science. The CEO has stated all the reasons publicly.
We need pilots, we need access to an established order book, we need midwest expansion, we need airframes to fill out bos/ewr/fll/lax faster than the organic plan (due to lack of pilots and airframe slots). Spirit is at a significant discount right now, which is what jetblue is exploiting. If you could get all that at a %30-40 discount, why wouldn’t you. This is literally business 101.

We are struggling with attrition (publicly stated). Spirit is struggling with attrition (publicly stated).
How would a combined airline suddenly not be?

In three years the new JetBlue will fly TPA-MEM once again...after more pilots come through the Gateway or United FO's leave for us when we get an industry leading contract
