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.

But if you can do a better job I highly encourage you to get into route planning and do something better. I’m sure they’re looking for project pilots as we speak.

Actually, yeah, it is. But that's okay.
Been there, done that. Time for someone else to take the reins.

1. $1.5 Billion stock buyback at the height of a bull market.
2. Hundreds of millions gambling on money losing startups in the new tech bubble.
3. Testing how little they can put into the maintenance budget until a mishap occurs.
4. Making a lawyer with no airline experience COO.
5. Going to war with their front line employees over nickels and dimes to pay for the above, when the business model relies heavily on customer service.
See? Not risk averse.

They even said as much on one of the earnings calls. Look at the top O&D destinations from BOS that B6 doesn't serve, most of them are Europe with London being very high up the list. Our Europe expansion is about serving the BOS/JFK markets, not about serving Europe.
