Ummm....what?
They operate BOS (business+leisure) and JFK (primarily leisure) with two different missions.

They’ve always maintained they have different strategies for different focus cities. Boston is mainly buisness focused, JfK is mainly leisure and VFR focused. There’s no way you’ll compete against hourly service to DFW out of LgA with one or 2 daily out of jfk. For that matter I don’t know why we bother serving ATL from JFK.

They don't have a plan, and they talk in circles. Pay no attention to what they say. It might as well be chinese proverbs. They are flim-flam artists.

The only thing that matters is what they do. Right now that is defer airplanes, slow growth, and blow money on tech start-ups. That is the reality. What can you infer from that picture?

This is shifting flying from one market to another. You'll take it? Just like the reduction in your profit sharing? Is your name Bandwagon? Christ almighty we have a special bunch here.
Did you not get your nap MINT?
Hope the butt-hurt goes away dear.

Do you think we’ll start just one city or multiple with in Europe? I thought we couldn’t get slots in LHR. Maybe CDG/DUB/AMS announcement as well?

Its LHR. Google the point guy article. We released a video with someone looking up JFK-LHR in the jetblue app. This would strongly suggest against the A220 though.

I imagine we will have a few cities in the area, like LHR, DUB, SNN, maybe KEF as well. These other cities will serve as diversion/tech stop cities in addition to being regular service.

JFK-LHR, along with other European cities has been bookable in the JB app for a while, you will just be flying on Aer Fungus or one of the 40 partner airlines we have now via <insert other airlines hub>

I’m going to LOL’ing so hard if it is something stupid as usual, like a new tail design or just a Southwest type wanna be Rally.

Either way, I still care 0.002% about Europe, it’s going to be a disaster if they do it.

Carry on with your speculations...
