I’m also not saying they all will get shipped off to JFK/BOS either. My point was that there is no guarantee that the 500ish NK pilots in MCO or 1000ish NK pilots in FLL can all sleep comfortably knowing they are in no danger of becoming commuters.
Seems like if we’re both flying full, there’s no reason to reduce our flying. The biggest problem at the ULCC level is the lack of frequency in routes. No idea if JetBlue has these issues, but I imagine they do.
