United’s Scott Kirby called the economics of buying JetBlue “mathematically close to impossible,” while Southwest’s Bob Jordan also downplayed dealmaking — even as he hinted at a future involving lounges, long-haul flying, and possibly first class. We unpack what these candid remarks reveal about the rapidly shifting U.S. airline landscape in this week's feature story.
