JetBlue made the announcement of DFW-BOS today, speculations have been going around for a while. They are bringing the Airbus to DFW, I am not sure how the Airbus will (economically) replace the ATR service out of DFW. AMR has a strong partnership with JetBlue and needs help with Spirits attempt to grow in DFW. Don't be surprised to see JetBlue doing DFW-JFK also, this will free up AA slots to do international. AMR goal is to have Eagle/JetBlue do the domestic feed while AA do the Coast to Coast flying and international. This is what the industry has become, UCal, Delta and US have most of their domestic departures done by regionals to compete with the LCC and keep labor cost down. AMR will work with JetBlue to accomplish most of the domestic flights and have Eagle feed both of them. This is divestifying the feed. By doing this AMR wouldn't have to acquire or have someone acquire allot of RJ. Alaska in the west, JetBlue in the NE and Eagle in between!!!
