As to the post asking about LAS, I think it stays the same or maybe grows some from the combined current network, and stays a crew base. I think Joanna mentioned that as one of the west coast growth opportunities they are looking at post merger.
When you consider that many of those cities are boutique cities, one flight a day to JFK or maybe one flight a day to BOS, you’re left with a list only about 7 or 10 cities long. People in those cities don’t bother looking at JetBlue flights… they only go to JFK/BOS, and that leaves most of the country unreachable even though “JetBlue flies to Milwaukee!”
ABQ has one flight a day - to JFK. MCI has two flights a day - one each to BOS or JFK. Houston, San Antonio, Dallas… each have one flight to JFK and one flight to BOS.
Compare those cities to Dominican Republic - 29 flights a day to 6 different JetBlue hubs.
Except for MCO and LAS, JetBlue really doesn’t stray too far from salt water.
