JB's goal was always to compete against them and force them to lower their prices. We'll see what happens.
in the cases of DFW/IAH, ORD/DTW, LAS/LAX they are all separate catchment areas without much cannibalization. Legacies can’t really have major fortress hub operations so close together because of RJ feed, but an O&D focused approach could easily work in bases relatively close together. Like someone else said, look at how we already operate so many bases close together. BOS/JFK/EWR, FLL/MCO
