BUT, I'm not sure I see why? Aren't you guys telling us we're no threat?

Hayes believes jetBlue can bring fares down from present levels and still make a reasonable profit.
“Since we launched [Mint], transcontinental fares have approximately halved,” said Mr Hayes.
“And if we make a decision to come, I promise you better service and lower fares than anyone: jetBlue flying to Europe would have a very important and profound effect in lowering fares.”

What’s going to be interesting if it’s actually delta doing the flights, normally they announce the routes then just put their jv on it, so it doesn’t even help a US pilot.

My prediction.
We attempt to pull off London, DUB etc.
We fail in a SPECTACULAR fashion. Giggity will blame Margaret Thatcher and bad dental care. Brexit....who knows........but it WILL be a business partner receiving the blame. Those MEAN British people.
The solar powered submarine tech venture will press full ahead. Additional nail polish colors and ice hammers with glow in the dark rave handles for the FA’s.
Robin and Giggity get ousted. We get purchased at a fire sale by indigo group.
THATS my prediction.
