Serious? All of those airlines have merged. The only 6 remaining major airlines that haven't merged yet: Hawaiian, jetblue, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant, and Sun Country. The next mergers will involve these carriers.

Good. The written word is hard to decipher at times.

I would love to believe that but I’ve been hearing that since we signed this new contract. I wouldn’t pick a company based off a “guess” that we will get more planes.
