In response to "why bother? some other airline will just gobble them up due to the competition and ruin it for Canada" by Epiphany

FWIW, Virgin America could still get bought by a non-airlines, such as an investor group.

I tend to expect a merger, but it's not a given.

Responses:

my company is owned by an investor group - I am not thrilled about either option. Does Jet Blue let you fly stand by for free? I'm curious -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:45 11
- I want Alaska to buy it, I got Alaska stock that is going up with just the idea -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 06:58 6
  - Jetblue feels like a better organic match to me as far as building out a more national airline, but there are benefits to both Alaska and Jetblue. - ty97 Mar 30, 07:01 1
    - That makes sense, so it won't happen :) -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 07:03
  - only if they are nice to my face and don't act grumpy while walking up/down the aisle - Epiphany Mar 30, 07:00 3
    - Alaska wins service awards all the time. They are probably the most liked airline (from a service perspective) in the USA. -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 30, 07:05
    - Alaska Airlines is our favorite. Great service. -- nm - Bacon Mar 30, 07:01 1
      - I remain hopeful whoever buys it doesn't orange it all up -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 07:11
- They do have free standby. Though it may be limited to the immediately prior flight. - ty97 Mar 30, 06:57 3
  - okay - that works for me. gracias -- nm - Epiphany Mar 30, 06:59
  - That said: Outside of NYC, BOS, MCO, FLL, LGB, Jetblue doesn't exactly have tons of flights a day to/from anywhere -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 06:57 1
    - They don't fly here at all. -- nm - iSpam Mar 30, 08:08
