- You had the 3rd highest points against this season? Wow. I wonder who had first? -- nm - Spawn Dec 6, 13:35 2
  - well, certainly. That's why the top 3 teams points against are the bottom three teams in the league standings - oblique Dec 6, 14:03 1
    - and the top 3 teams in the league standings are the top 3 in points for - its the middle you want to shake your fist at -- nm - crash davis Dec 6, 14:05

znu, I would be surprised (but maybe not) if Jetblue were to be allowed to merge with the new combined Alaska. - ty97 Dec 6, 13:16 11

  - No way this is a complete list but - ty97 Dec 6, 13:48
  - Never mind, I see that you addressed this below -- nm - znufrii Dec 6, 13:33
- If they did merge, I would be so happy. - ReluctantCynic Dec 6, 13:30
- By eliminate, do you mean create? -- nm - Roger More Dec 6, 13:18 4
  - Nope. I mean Jetblue (I always typo Jetlube) and Alaska are both sizable now so a merger of them - ty97 Dec 6, 13:19 3
    - Ah, I thought you meant would create a sizeable competitor with the scale to compete with AA, United, Delta, etc - Roger More Dec 6, 13:22 2
      - They don't overlap as much as some, but they definitely compete on a number of key routes. -- (edited) - ty97 Dec 6, 13:26 1
        
        oh, and they both have shit service in the middle of the country -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 13:29
- I mean since 2008 we've seen: Delta/Northwest; United/Continental; American/US Airways; Southwest/Airtran. And now Alaska/Virgin. - ty97 Dec 6, 13:17 1
  - If there were to be another merger, I see it the ultra-low-cost space. Two of Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant maybe. Maybe. -- nm - ty97 Dec 6, 13:18
