Frontier Group Holdings, Inc., kampani ya makolo ya Frontier Airlines, Inc., lero yapereka mawu otsatirawa okhudzana ndi kuphatikizidwa kwa Frontier ndi Mzimu.
M'masabata angapo apitawa, JetBlue adalengeza kuti kasamalidwe ka Mzimu akubisala kumbuyo "zabodza" ndi "zosocheretsa" zotsutsana ndi kusakhulupirirana kotero kuti akane JetBlue ufulu wolanda-ndi kufufutitsa kukhalapo - chonyamulira chachikulu kwambiri cha dziko chotsika mtengo kwambiri.
JetBlue sikukuuzani zoona. A mzimu kugula ndi JetBlue kungachititse kuti munthu awonongedwe—mfundo yakuti palibe kuchuluka kwa ndalama, chipwirikiti, kapena kusokera kumene kungasinthe. Ndipo mtengo wokhawo womwe eni ake a Mzimu angalandire kuchokera ku ganizo la JetBlue ndi chindapusa choyimitsa, chifukwa malingaliro a JetBlue alibe mwayi wopeza chilolezo chowongolera.
JetBlue idavomereza kuti ichotsa mphamvu pamsika ndikubwezeretsanso zombo za Spirit kuti zichotse mipando. Maloya a Antitrust amachitcha kuti "zoletsa zotuluka," ndipo ndizowopsa ku JetBlue. Momwemonso JetBlue akuwonjezeka mtengo wamtengo. Kuchepa kwa ndege kumatanthauza kukwera mtengo. Mtsogoleri wamkulu wa JetBlue, Robin Hayes, amadziwadi zimenezo. Iye anati masiku angapo apitawo, “Avereji yamitengo ya ndege idzakwera chifukwa pali [Sic] mipando yochepa.” Izi ndi zomwe JetBlue angachite ndi zombo za Mzimu. Zowonadi, polengeza zomwe akufuna pa Epulo 6, JetBlue adati kugula wonjezani phindu lake, ngakhale mtengo wake wokwera.
Zowonadi izi - zidavomereza mitengo yokwera komanso kutsika kochepa - zimatsimikizira kuti JetBlue sangapeze chilolezo chofuna kupeza Mzimu. Palibe zonena za "divestitures" za malo a eyapoti kapena zitseko, kapena zonena zabodza kapena zachinyengo, zitha kukonza zovuta zakupha za JetBlue.
Ndipo izi siziri zovuta zowongolera za JetBlue. Zolinga zotsutsana ndi kupikisana kwake ndizodziwikiratu. JetBlue ngakhale adavomereza, ponena mu 2021 10-K yake kuti mgwirizano wa Frontier / Spirit ndi wowopsa ku "mpikisano wa JetBlue" - komanso chitsanzo cha kuphatikiza komwe "kungapangitse kuti mitengo ya mpikisano yathu ichepetse." Bambo Hayes pambuyo pake adavomereza kuti "nthawi" yopempha JetBlue "idayendetsedwa motsimikizika ndi kulengeza" kwa mgwirizano wa ULCC.
Ndiye palinso mlandu womwe Unduna wa Zachilungamo ku US ukuyembekezera motsutsana ndi JetBlue kuti aletse mgwirizano wake waku Northeast ndi American Airlines. Ngakhale adatsimikizira aliyense - kuphatikiza ogawana nawo Mzimu - kuti kugulitsako kufalitsa nthano, yotchedwa "JetBlue Effect," Bambo Hayes adavomereza kale chifukwa cha DOJ chobweretsa mlandu wa NEA: "DOJ imakhulupirira kuti chikoka cha America chidzathetsa "JetBlue Effect." Chifukwa chake, a DOJ adatsutsana kale ndi malingaliro a JetBlue pakuchitapo kanthu. Ndipo, mosiyana ndi zomwe Bambo Hayes adanena kuti milandu ya NEA idzathetsedwa posachedwa-ndipo sizidzakhala ndi zotsatira zilizonse pa JetBlue / Spirit acquisition-zidzatengadi. zaka kuthetsa mikangano ya NEA, kudzera muzenga ndi madandaulo onse osapeŵeka. Pamene ogawana nawo Mzimu amadikirira chiyani, kwenikweni? Malipiro olekanitsidwa, zaka zingapo pambuyo pake, kuchokera pazachinyengo za JetBlue?
Kwa masabata, JetBlue yadzaza ma airwaves ndi phokoso. Ilo lagawana zinthu zambiri zabodza, kwinaku ikunyalanyaza mavuto odziwikiratu komanso oopsa okana chikhulupiriro. Zowonadi, dzulo dzulo, JetBlue adati "akatswiri akunja amavomereza kuti, mkati mwaulamuliro wapano, ntchito yathu ili ndi mwayi wofanana ndi Frontier pakuvomerezedwa."4 JetBlue imaphatikizapo palibe gwero, ndithudi-kotero "akatswiri akunja" akuwoneka kuti akulankhula? Ndiwomwe, loya wa JetBlue yemwe adalemba ntchito yotsutsa chitetezo.
JetBlue ikufuna kuti muganize kuti Frontier ndi JetBlue amabweretsa mbiri yachitetezo cha antitrust yomwe imasiyana pamlingo wokha, osati mwanjira. Koma palibe chomwe chingakhale choposa chowonadi. Kupeza kwa JetBlue kwa Mzimu sikungapambane.
Kuphatikiza kwa Frontier / Mzimu ndikosiyana kwambiri. Kugulitsa kwathu kudzachulukitsa zotuluka ndikuchepetsa mitengo pobweretsa mitengo yotsika kwambiri kumayendedwe ambiri mopikisana ndi ndege zazikulu, zokwera mtengo, zokwera mtengo. Frontier yophatikizidwa ndi Mzimu idzalimbikitsa kufunikira mwa kukopa anthu kuti aziwuluka pamene mitengo yapamwamba yoperekedwa ndi JetBlue ndi Big Four ikanawagulitsa kunja kwa msika.
