Coming out of the pandemic, there was a push to increase BOS departures to 200 a day. But that went on the back burner as soon as they signed onto the NEA and hasn’t been discussed since.

Agreed Craig. With some type of route network, and adding mini Mint, this could make JB viable. I still don’t fully understand what this United Bluesky partnership will look like. Neither does Union apparently.

Sorta like the chickens accepting a wolf in the henhouse believing it will help defend them from the pack of wolves waiting to pounce, until the wolf gets hungry. JB's better play would have to done what it could to keep another competitor out of JFK to the best of their ability. Then if UAL wanted back in JFK bad enough, at least demand entry into star alliance for allowing them to invade your home hub.

if it sells enough mint and makes people feel special enough to get and blow money on the credit card, I don’t care if it looks like a cross between the lobby of the Verdanza, a hooka bar, and a Golden Corral.
As long as it somehow by a miracle keeps this place afloat and my paycheck from bouncing, I couldn’t care less what it looks like.

The frustration is that so many of us on the line have been talking about "Mini Mint" or "Junior Mint" since the 220 was announced many years ago. We all said that airplane should have first class seating to accompany the Mint 321s, but nope. The company stated loud and clear that there would be no first class in the 220s. Now? They're scrambling to retrofit and offer a product that literally every single pilot on the line said we should have. These are the things that drives people like myself nuts.

United will feed JB just enough biz to keep them in biz long enough for UAL to reestablish their foot back into JFK, then they will put the screws to JB in some future move when they tire of the competition and are ready to make a go of it on their own.
