Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

Any airline mergers are bad. If we actually had a government that wasn’t a slave of corporate america, the major airlines would be broken up. Industry is way too consolidated.

JetBlue has gone down the drain. I’ll be curious what a merger with Spirit means for their Mint class and if they’ll go even lower cost by ripping it out and mimicking Spirit

Used to love JetBlue until they started canceling the routes I took and charging for a carryon bag

Jetblue used to be great, but now their planes are old and they keep canceling routes. They cant grow organically so they’re buying a budget airline, mainly for the routes to where they dont fly

Do folks just stick to true five star hotel concierges for help? Do folks just book luxury tours like A&K? How do folks research?

Hello, I have received an offer from Southwest Airlines as a Associate Technology Analyst with their direct college hire program. Will be graduating in May with a degree in MIS and also have internships experience as a Business Systems analyst intern. The salary compensation started off at 66,500 but was looking for the 75k range and they got back to me saying the best they can do is 68,500. They also have a 401k company match up to 9.3%. Do you think this is a solid offer for this job market?

Just used a meaningful amount of AMEX points for the first time to buy flights to Greece for my wife and I.

This is on the 777 which isn’t the best business class product out there, but I’ve never flown international outside of coach and think it will still be worthwhile. Think this is an OK redemption?
