Compare that to the VX "plan".
Hubs out of a notoriously bad weather airport that serves as hubs for TWO legacies. No wonder they can't turn a profit...
Jetblue never should have been allowed to start a hub in JFK to begin with. It's an oversaturated airport that needed to cut service, not add it. You can't operate a hub with no flights after 4pm. It seems whenever Jetblue needed more slots, the city just created them adding to the congestion with no regards to the other airlines. How many flights a day does Jetblue operate out of LGA now? Don't tell me LGA was underserved also.
