Thomas Cook makes sense. Norwegian would be huge. Kind of a natural fit, but no idea how Jetblue would cough up the cash for that.

FWIW, an FA on a recent flight commented that the cabin setup for the trans-Atlantics would be Mint, a new premium economy offering, and then regular economy. No idea how accurate this is, but it would make sense to go for a lower-density higher-yield config, esp. on winter eastbounds.

Honestly? I had them both open in my Bloomberg terminal and was looking at them backwards.
Sorry.
A PE product? I'd love to see what they do with that.
Sorry.

Their Fleet is 24 Airbus A321s, 7 A330-200s and 2 Boeing 757-200s so there is much compatibility there. They have slots at most of the London airports, including LHR. They have also have partnered with a decent list of other airlines.
I worry about the debt, but it would make an interesting company.

Um, U2's current market cap is comfortably in excess of B6's. And the Haji-Ioannou family controls something like a third of the shares, so that won't be happening.

"Not sure what makes you think Norwegian is bigger than easyJet."
