We make significantly more money than Jetblue (hasn't made a profit in YEARS - last time was 2019!).
Alaska made a profit margin of under 1% in 2025.
Southwest made a profit margin of 1.7% in 2025.
And us.. we made a profit margin of 7.9% in 2025.
Please don't compare how was should have a NB base in Boston "because other airlines do"
If only JetBlue knew that they could attain Delta margins simply by closing their BOS pilot base..
Pilot bases don’t have quite the impact on a balance sheet that some believe. Network has already invested Delta in BOS, with or without a NB category opening there.
