JB charges a pretty good premium to go Direct/NonStop. Was just looking at a flight to the Caribbean where JB is the only Non Stop. For similar dept times the JB flight was $900, a UAL through IAD was $365 and only added 2 hours to a sub 5 hour direct flight. Lots of other options below $500 too. That might explain the reason for so many connections....on the other hand JB is finding people to pay those fairs and making some good money. No need for JB to flood the market and kill yield when you are getting such a good premium. BTW the MInt fare was a little over $2K on that flight.

It might happen it might not but this is a site where people talk about stuff like this. What we know is we don't know.

Not to mention, Robin isn't Dave. And numbers don't lie. Someone much smarter than I laid out a reasoning of why we need to grow, and quicker than what we currently have on the books, in order to survive. Whether it's finding other 320/321s somewhere, or merging/acquiring another airline, growth beyond what we have on the books now I think is inevitable.

Rumors...
Rumors aren't just hear say from one pilot to an other. Every corporation sits around the table and discusses every angle, option and scenario (we hope). So what we hear as rumored probably was presented at the table, whether it evolves or not we will hear about it. We as pilots sit on our monthly bid package hoping that awesome rumor to help me gain 10, 20% movement in hopes to get weekends or holidays off and even upgrade when can take first available or "look I can hold a line" comes true. When it doesn't we *****, it's our nature. What might seem as an eternity to us isn't such in the corporate world. Patience is going to be our best friend. JetBlue has some real good people at the helm, I'm excite for the future.
Cheers, I need to go grab another beer.
