This would replace not only the 190 flying but replace some 320 flying at the same time.
I think it would be bold to stroll into DEN when Southwest and United basically hold a monopoly. We would need to either go head to head with them both or sell the gates. You would gain a few slots here and there that are valuable ... etc DCA, LAX, SFO. Is that worth it ?? Maybe?
We would also be taking on a lot of destinations that work well for ULCC's (2-3 day service only , skirt airports) that I don't think would work well for Jetblue.
But then again what do I know? ..... absolutely nothing.
