JB isn’t in a strong position to compete considering our financials. Any battle in FLL is likely to be short lived.
FLL represents around 19% of passengers while JFK and BOS are 24% and 30% or higher. Yields, in FLL, are also lower so touting the #1 carrier doesn’t seem to be a boon to business in my option. Particularly when long haul international is not even an option with the current fleet.
