I bet they keep the bag fees though!

I always thought charging more for a carry on was brilliant. Makes turning a plane a whole lot quicker.

B6 already charges for a carry on with the blue basic fare. So if you buy the higher class fare, you’re essentially paying for a carry on. If you bring a carry on that doesn’t fit under the seat in front of you on a BB fare, it costs $65.

Shows how much I pay attention to that stuff. Sure seems like there is still way more carry ons than when I jump on spirit.

Not yet... No guarantee JB wins the negotiations, and no guarantee it passes the feds.

Yes they do. This will get approved if Spirit accepts. I’m assuming Indigo will dig deep and come back with a better offer. Although it could benefit Frontier to be the only ULCC left. Besides Allegiant I guess

JetBlue does seem pretty aggressive about this. I think we were all in shock when the news popped. Especially a day after LOA 17 was ratified and we gave scope relief to AA. Which reminds me, I hope we can get Spirit’s MEC to replace ours. 😃

Basically as bad as we may have wanted VA, we want NK much more.

JBLUs 190s are all gone by 2026 and there aren’t any orders after 2025. JBLU wants to go all Airbus fleet and the order book for Airbus is long and established (that’s what she said). I don’t know how JBLU grows without buying an airline with aircraft on order and pilots ready to fly them.
