My conspiracy theory is we’re purchasing Mr. Softee. They’ve had all sorts of trouble over the years, but frankly, their chocolate/vanilla Sundae is da bomb. Hundreds of Mr. Softee trucks, all over NYC, painted to look like a 190? Genius. Pure Gold. Branding.... The Santo Domingo Sundae...Santiago Swirl...Port-au-Prince popsicle...

This is the scenario that I was starting to see as plausible. Something along these lines anyway. From my understanding, JB already tried to purchase Frontier once before. Anyway, something just seems off. Like someone mentioned before, I hope it’s more 220’s and not M/A.
Could be something as simple as that.
In addition to the other possibilities I've stated, I also see a deepening relationship, possibly a very minimal one, but deepening none-the-less, with AA.

I don't have any idea what, if anything, is happening beyond the obvious no-furlough/23A. But with another airline supposedly returning 60 JFK slots, LAX likely having significant gate space coming available and/or EWR having expansion opportunities, JB could well be on the hunt for resources to quickly fill out those voids.
As I said a few posts ago, Spirit and Frontier are much less expensive today than they were a few months ago, and there are significant portions of both airlines network that wouldn't fit well in the JB system that could be redeployed rapidly to fill out JFK and/or LAX and/or EWR. Both airlines would also rapidly grow JB's Florida franchise and add incremental relevance out West.
All just one dudes opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it, maybe less.

AAL.
Look at the moves they’re making. Closing LAX. Giving up slots in JFK. Downsizing BOS even more.
Tea leaves are strong with this one.
Not saying it’s a merger. But there’s some kind of JB/AAL relationship building here:
