I wonder if this translates to a more broad region strategy vs sole focus on a hub city. Think adding mini hubs places like the rumored BDL/TPA/DCA/SJU. We have such great brand awareness throughout the NE/Florida, so this might make sense.

JetBlue has poached Frontier’s former network planning head and has moved the person previously in change of network over to finance, I’d say indicating disappointment with how the network has evolved.

The Frontier exec left several months ago likely waiting out a no compete. It’s also interesting in light of Indigo liquidating their position in Frontier. Is that connected? Is Indigo going to invest in JetBlue or is simply their departure from Frontier enough to send loyalists packing?

This probably means a much bolder network strategy for JetBlue which under the prior CEO became basically a hub style airline with flights focused entirely around a few airports. That is now likely to change. Whether it means a shift to more of an LCC/ULCC seems less likely, but could be the case.
