But it's a domestic presence at JFK when the domestic prize in NYC is LGA.
JFK would be great, if it was moved to LGA. Until then, a domestic JFK operation is great for Long Island east of Queens.
It may be a Plan B for SWA, but right now Plan A is merging with FL and up sizing to 738s. For AMR or DAL, merging with B6 is a way to get rid of a competitor and then reward the multitude of other competitors with new divested slots. Frankly, it's just messy.
So I bet next round of mergers, JB is still standing by itself unless it joins with Virgin San Fransisco.
