The airline business is about funding new aircraft, an incredibly expensive proposition.
Globally, there are approximately 34,000 planes in service.
JetBlue is unable to fund a new fleet, beyond the run-off in deliveries through 2026 .
Management believes that its JetForward plan can eventually generate $900 million in sustainable annual profits, but the damage has been done.
JetBlue is the casualty of its unthinking growth hubris, customer neglect, and capture by its unionized employees.
American Airlines is the most likely acquirer, but it is open question whether JetBlue , even at a rock-bottom stock price, is worth the assumed liabilities, an aging fleet, and the enormous managerial and strategic effort.
