Cool, I love having more choices when it comes to flying. It keeps prices lower, gives companies and incentive to win your business. -- nm - colin Feb 7, 06:03 3
- This is the definition of less choices though -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 06:09 2
  - I don't doubt this increases prices, but I'd also argue that there now be an increased possibility of getting from point A to point B on this new airline. -- (edited) - Mop Feb 7, 07:45
  - I'm just a dumb consumer who thinks consolidation is good for me, because I lap up billionaire's lies. - colin Feb 7, 06:22
What are the 4 larger ones? - decline Feb 7, 05:30 2
- Southwest -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:31 1
  - And then I think (currently) Alaska is 5 and Jetblue is 6? -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:32
So you only have one airline to avoid now? -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 05:24 4
- Allegiant still exists :/ -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:27 3
  - Had we not hit a bird and then get caught by a thunderstorm while landing it would have been fine. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 05:41 2
    - I figure it's no different than flying any European carrier (even British, Air France, etc) within Europe. - ty97 Feb 7, 05:47 1
      - That said, Spirit/Frontier/Allegiant have a very limited presence in NYC. - ty97 Feb 7, 05:52
so whats the new name gonna be. Frontier Spirit? Spirit of the Frontier? Extra Charges Air? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 7, 05:21 3
- TBD but I'm guessing Spirit may be the brand that comes out of this. -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 05:23 1
  - that would be....unfortunate -- nm - St. Epiphany Feb 7, 07:15
- SpiriTier -- nm* - budice Feb 7, 05:22
