It goes without saying that a lot of people have a lot of opinions about JetBlue’s future, and whether the carrier could be acquired, whether it may eventually have to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, or what. We recently learned that JetBlue is looking for a merger partner, and we know that United is in general most interested, though apparently United CEO Scott Kirby suggested the concept of an American merger to the Trump administration, which is kind of wild.
So while everyone has their own opinion, here’s another interesting one to consider. JetBlue’s founder (who hasn’t worked at the airline since 2008) was asked about the company’s future, and he wasn’t very optimistic.
That would also take them to $9 billion in debt. Today they’re paying over $600 million in interest on that debt, and that would take it up to $800 million of interest.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
