VX is a very different product and a very different target market. On the other hand, they have a decent west coast operation and a mostly compatible fleet.

In either case it would only make sense if the desire was to buy the target airline's route map. And I'm not really sure that B6 needs to. Yes, they are smaller than UA/DL/WN/US but after that they start to hold their own quite nicely in the market. The similarities to AS are uncanny and probably provide some idea as to how the carrier could survive and thrive without having to grow tremendously quickly.
