JetBlue is responsible for changing a few things in the industry. Competition is healthy. So is fear to an extent. A 321 will never be able to compete with widebodies fed by global networks. I’m sure B6’s entrance with their 20 or so premium seats a day vs over a 1000’s of premium seats at the legacy and international carriers will be feared by someone. Not sure who. Welcome to the jungle.
I think this is all part of Robin and his ego to his U.K. buds that his airline can cross the pond. If you guys don’t think BA and AA as well as Norwegian and the others won’t fight this tooth and nail all you have to do is look at all the tombstones in the graveyard of translant flying.

What made JetBlue a threat, was buy in from its employees. It was that extra service people did when they believed in this place. That is gone now.
Delta has its mojo thanks to the the very Nielman like idea of generous profit sharing. They are firing on all cylinders right now as everyone is pulling in the same direction so let's not toot our own horn while our managers continue to destroy our culture.

Looks like they just announced JFK-GYE nonstop, if I'm following the tweet correctly.
