How about we stick to flying the planes and quit *****ing. If there is a market why not? More South America routes? Anyways NY-South Florida routes are very profitable especially when a competitor comes in with a better product and lower fares.

Love it how so many here have such strong comments on routes like they know how to do anything but fly the plane. From the man ahead of the department himself he once told me that was always a desire to get some MIA flights. Mainly for the south Florida and Florida keys traffic not willing to drive more north to FLL. Not to say I believe him or not but that’s what I’ve heard from the rumor. I won’t comment if it’s profitable or not because like the rest on here I have no clue.

You do realize there are other areas in the country that make money, right? Or are we too myopic and completely risk averse that we have to hike up our skirts and run away in the face of new routes?

jetblue polls its pax and finds out where they want to go. the polls are conducted in NYand bos. Our current business model revolves around taking people from NY and bos to places and back. then there's a little bit of other stuff. like it or not that's what makes our billions.

Yep. Honestly I don’t care where we fly. Whether it be Europe or the DR. Just make money hand over and fist and share that with the people who are the frontline who make it possible to make that money.

Is that like our union polling our pilot group to determine what they are willing to accept less on?

Guess what. Leaders lead. It’s time for JB to grow up and stop being a NY/BOS boutique airline. There’s endless route pairings that JB could explore to expand their brand nationally. They’re inherently lazy and risk averse. Goes along with the inept leadership team driving this boat so pretty much par for the course around here.
