Not making any predictions, but it woudn't be shocking if B6 reevaluates its product as the merger planning progresses. Modyfing the combined B6 product based on an analysis of what worked for NK and what is working for the rest of the industry is not unthinkable. Despite the current assertions, some type of first-class product and/or denser economy seating may be considered, as could changes to ticketing policies.

Agree, but I don't think "merger" implies that the surviving corporate entity will preserve the target's name (or anything else). Even in a so-called "merger of equals", one entity survives and the other is absorbed.
