Well heck,
Since no one has any clue what is really going on, I might as well throw my two cents in and come up with a really interesting senario for everybody to laugh at.
United and Delta merge. United sells it's west coast maintenance operation and uses assets from sale to help boost Delta's maintenance program. United sells off mileage plus program that Bear Sterns believes is worth north of $15 billion. Delta sells off Comair.
Now with a war chest in hand, the new carrier buys the remaining 80% of Jetblue for around a billion dollars. With Lufthansa controlling 20%, and they all move into a shiny new terminal at JFK.
They now have U.S. hubs in JFK/LGA, IAD, ATL, ORD, DEN, SLC, SFO and with the combined assets, LAX and BOS. Internationally, combined with Lufthansa and the Star Alliance, they'd have a huge presence at Heathrow and Narita.
Could be interesting.
