Sorry, not a shot at you or the thread. But this is the biggest airline merger news in a few years and not a peep... I remember when FI was a useful tool. Too bad it fell apart.

Sounds like public announcements next week. Always interesting the airlines.

If the Jet Blue/Virgin deal is kaput, then so is my suggested name for the combined company: "Blue Nun Airlines".

How about "Nanookie of the North"?
