Yeah, Jetblue + Virgin America would make a better nationally competitive airline.

But the investors who are selling their Virgin stake of course (and rightfully so) are looking for the best deal, they don't care about the outcome.

Alaska + Virgin America will have an amazingly strong West Coast presence though

I hedged and added Jet Blue to my stock portfolio in addition to my Alaska, in case they won. -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 12:03 9
- Alaska's a solid airline, I have no qualms about flying with them. Unlike United. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 2, 12:17 7
  - I keep hearing how great Alaska is. It would be super great if they actually flew place east of the Rockies! -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 12:19 6
    - Alaska flies to Orlando -- nm - Bacon Apr 2, 12:45 1
      - Right. But they fly from Orlando to Seattle and San Diego, both of which are west of the Rockies. - ty97 Apr 2, 12:47

        I've never flown them, though they do fly to Toronto from here. -- nm - ty97 Apr 2, 12:23
