With JetBlue looking to acquire Spirit Airlines, trumping Frontier’s offer, many observers have pointed out how different their business model, product, and cultures are – wondering if his acquisition could make any sense. Others disagree, suggesting that JetBlue buying Spirit ‘for parts’ – planes, gates, pilots, – will allow for more rapid expansion.
Is the product really that different? In the premium category, Spirit has more than just the Big Front Seat. The low cost carrier has lie flat seating.
There are other airlines flying with broken seats. I spilled a lot of internet ink over American's willingness to defer maintenance and take seats out of service.
If it passes muster with regulators and the courts, the Northeast Alliance could make sense.
Two months ago, Frontier announced a deal to acquire Spirit Airlines.

The new Mint business class seat will be rolled out on the new A321LRs that will fly to London this summer. Some A321neos will get the product, so it will eventually be available on domestic flights as well. They chose the Thompson Aero seat.
