Other potential doable city pairs from business-friendly LGA:
LGA-SNA
LGA-SEA
LGA-SAN
LGA-ONT
LGA-BUR
LGA-OAK
LGA-PDX
LGA-PHX
You never know... With the versatility of the CS100, the route planners are no doubt excited about the possibilities.
I doubt we'll see more than one, maybe two of those routes, and probably seasonally. If we do, it'll largely canibalize existing routes out of JFK anyway. Possibly at higher ticket prices, but also probably at higher seat costs to operate.
This is nowhere near the revolutionary "game changer" many are implying. Its just an airplane and the vast majority of what it does will be plugged into the existing route structure. Long and thin routes are great for white papers and theory, but their potential is far less than many imagine.
