WN Buying Frontier

With Frontier having Airbus 320 /319 Aircraft tv onboard and assigned seating why not make SW have Assigned seating and possibly add tv on its aircraft? There are many differences between the two airline and I am surprised JetBlue did not go after Frontier as they operate the same planes and have the same types of service?

It seems like WN and Frontier do not have the same policies. Could WN operate Airbus planes and purchase them for their current operations? Would they have to train their current 737 pilots to fly Airbus as well?

Would the buying of Frontier mean that their international flights on WN would expand or would WN go ahead and cancel the flight to Mexico? Is Hawaii just around the corner if WN goes for 737-800 or Airbus ETOPS aircraft?

How about Europe?

These questions have been looming in my mind ever since the talks started I want to hear your opinions.
