Put in other terms, if a delay happens, all the usual variable costs will GENERALLY still be in play; i.e. increased fuel burn, possible hotel vouchers, crew costs, airframe time and so on. Now, we add to that a variable cost of the passenger bill of rights expenditure and so your snapshot CASM increases, but your revenue has not.
I'm curious who will pay for it the employees (less benefits) or the passengers(less service).
Looks like you have it all figured out.
The 'BoR' will bring in additional revenue as the word spreads that PAX on JetBlue will be reimbursed. By the way ,they get vouchers good for future JetBlue flights. Smart.
