Going forward it’s basically a Northeast shuttle aircraft to satisfy contractual obligations under the NEA and to fulfill slot obligations in JFK.

Hawaii is pretty much a done deal. Likely scenario is initially out of LAX and then SFO. Would be done with regular NEOs not LRs or XLRs.

More flying to return to FLL and a little more to MCO. When we decided to make the summer cuts, those were the only two places we could do it. JFK is slot restricted; expecting BOS to be soon. Management really wants to grow LAX so that was off the table especially in lieu of future Hawaiian plans.

Airbus has approached us about the 330s. Preliminary discussions but nothing serious. At best that would be 5-10 years down the road.

All Spirit hubs are in the running to continue with JetBlue except Atlantic City and probably Las Vegas. Three strongest non JB contenders are Chicago, either DFW or IAH, and ATL.


why would they get rid of Vegas? Even ACY could do ok
