Who said they don't believe that? Everyone knows the ulcc is dead and moving to an LCC model. You'd be an idiot if you believe it will be done well. Southwest will do it right, we will not.

I have my doubts but anything is possible. I already told you I'd LUV to have to apologize to you.

I hope SWA has better lobbyists than JetBlue.

Why wouldn't they buy Jetblue?

Their market cap and our debt arent much different.

No clue, I am just piggy backing off previous comments. But to answer your question only thing I could think, 1 fleet type being bought and a more diverse network.

But if the DOJ struck down the Jetblue-Spirit merger, how on earth could a SouthWest-Spirit acquisition be allowed? It too will go to court and be struck down.

The most likely outcome is Spirit will continue to lose money until it is liquidated. No use sitting around and hoping for someone to come rescue Spirit when they can be bought for cheap in a liquidation sale.
