welp, the DOJ apparently only had a hard on for NK/JB. I find it absurd that this merger is allowed to proceed but ours was not.

AS on the other hand has been all about preserving brand, culture, and jobs at the acquired carrier. I'm not ready to call it genius, but they at least learned from the mistakes of others.

well, in this merger, nothing was taken from the market. in our merger, you were stripping the largest ULCC away from all the poors. Now this merger actually helps us, especially since we are changing our business model to more align with a LCC. think of it as a good thing for a future merger for us. now we know the blueprint we need to copy to get this thing approved in this regulatory environment.

RH should’ve kept quiet…. Something he was never very good at. Even amateur poker players know this.

We named ourselves an “ULCC,” not like this is some sort of DOT classification. We made it up.

The company is never going to come out and say “we are now now not the cheapest and we no longer want to attract price sensitive passengers”.

Just because a few rows of seats will get a free bottle of water and a checked or carry on bag, doesn’t all the sudden make us a different product. The majority of our seats will still be as we know it
