Jetblue Looking To Buy VA?

[DIAMONDDD]

If B6 bought VA, it would probably, somehow and in some way mess with my career. So yeah, I expect it to happen right soon.

Thanks for that insight.

But accurate

The idea that JB would buy VA for 319s is the real joke. I'm pretty sure Airbus still has some 319s for sale - maybe even with the same engines that JB has. This whole thread is a bunch of hot air.

It may be a bunch of hot air and I will be the first to admit that I am no fan of VA BUT that being said a strategic alliance or purchase would be one of the smartest things that VA/JB could do..

If VA grows to critical mass JB will spend millions defending routes and during that timeframe VA will be marginally profitable at best.

I dont see any advantage of VA routes etc other than elimination of competition in my opinion BUT if there were opportunities to grow out of FLL in our new terminal 3 FLL move happening in june I could see VA planes as a solution to grow S amer/Latin amer against Spirit and the 319's would be great for linking with Azul
