My intent was to make sure the "contract" didn't have a loophole to screw us over with subcontracting, wet leases, or some other creative legal mechanism.
Game on for everything else....

There was no contract when jetblue used expressjet to cover the broken 190s. It’s also why we have this awesome open architecture that allows for shiny 330s parked at our gates in Boston. As far as I know right now there is nothing stopping jetblue from doing lots of stuff with scope. It was always “assumed” they wouldn’t contract out to a regional because there is a lack of quality control. But these days that does not seem important. This company has fundamentally changed its mind on many things. The VA bid was the most obvious change, so much for only organic growth. The old jetblue is dead and I’m not sure the new one is that great.
