They clearly laid the foundation for some major west coast cuts on investor day. “Major fleet reallocation” were the words I believe.
If I had to guess, all of the intra west stuff will be going away and we will be left with transcons and the base will essentially shift to lax over time.

It is interesting VX/AS closed up the NY base and cut out JFK-FLL/LAS/PSP and re-focused everything on the west coast. The posts above make it sound like jetBlue is doing the same thing on the west coast and bolster up the east. Coincidence? Or just preparation for least overlap for an easy DOJ Antitrust approval. Who knows.

I doubt there would be any hurdles to a JB AS tie up. What leg exactly would the DOJ have to stand on for any divestitures? It would still be the 5th airline in US.
The combined company would still be lacking a mid continent base. I’m not sure there is a whole lot of synergies to be gained without one. It would just be combining two niche carriers with no ability to move passengers between the route structures efficiently.

Howdy all,
I'm considering JB but I'm wondering about the relative seniority of the Long Beach base. I'd be commuting from SLC, so I am wondering how long it would take to get Long Beach. In other words, how long would I have to commute to the junior base? And would I be wrong in assuming that the junior base is JFK?
Thanks!
