Yeah, but would it be enough to fill 20 widebodies? Literally everyone else uses a hub and spoke on those routes. You need to feed the widebodies with passengers from cities other than just New York and Boston.

We're not getting widebodies. We're going to F around with 321 variants because we're contrarian. We know several airlines have spent decades figuring out the right model to make the TATL routes work..but our people in LSC are way smarter. They'll figure something out that the others never thought of.



Probably has to do with pizza, culture and IROP pants.

Honestly, just 2 other carriers. Skyteam and Oneworld alliances. And they sure as hell aren’t doing much to lower prices and compete against each other. I think there’s plenty of room for us to join those markets.

Uh no.... JetBlue only flies places that ny passengers want to go. There are no “other cities”. Have you not been paying attention for the last 20yrs of jetbluethymess.

I’m surprised we aren’t doing Ireland. Waaaay better potato farms there.

Shhhhhh. That’s a secret. We’re starting a brand of Irish vodka using potatos there. It’s called Shamrockovich. The tag line is “Our culture has been distilled over 20 years. Better late than never. Enjoy this taste in your mouth.”

unfortunately, the taste that comes to mind is that metal taste after a strong antibiotic...
