I live in Atlanta and from looking at JetBlue's website there are 3 direct flights a day so it appears commuting from Atlanta is doable.

All kidding aside, we currently have three to JFK a day. They just announced 4 times a day to LGA in spring. Not sure if that will reduce the JFK flights or is in addition to them.
