I don't know where the breakeven point is, but it's cheaper to use RSA and VDA a certain amount than to have higher staffing. JetBlue will always staff to a level that RSAs and VDAs are used a certain amount.
Chances are, the usage would have to be much higher than we think to reach parity. JetBlue is a business, not a jobs program. They aren't trying to create more positions. They are trying to run the airline as inexpensively as they can.
