Correct me if I’m wrong but didn't B6 gain gate space at places like LGA and EWR via the NEA? Seems like much of the growth at LGA was totally based on the NEA and gates provided by AA.

Maybe I am missing something, however weren’t those slots always American’s and they were just letting Jetblue use them through the NEA? With Jetblue pulling flying from the northeast due to the ATC shortage, they give the slots back and now it’s American’s problem to utilize them. Right now their regionals sure don’t have the pilots to fill those slots and It would seem that American would be under pressure to keep those slots. This appears to be a bigger problem for American than Jetblue but I’m just a line pilot and it’s above my pay grade.

JetBlue says it's "Studying the judgement" and "evaluating our next steps". |

They should save the time and effort they're spending on this study by just reading this thread. No need for a long report -- it can clearly be explained in 2 or 3 sentences 🙂

I would say the investment community believes this is not a trivial situation. |

The plan was to draw down a lot of that flying this summer anyway. Losing slots is never a good thing, but might free up crews and airplanes to shift out of the Northeast and expand elsewhere. Rumors of new bases for the last couple of years, maybe now is the time?

seeing as the company doesn’t believe in profit sharing IDGAF. If it forces diversification at the cost of a little profitability I’m all for it. |
