Well, it did say that AAmerican was doing the same thing. That's the problem with being so concentrated in a market, JBU in JFK and BOS, ALK in SEA. Anyone else adds a little more flying, has a larger impact on market share.

We've finally grasped that we've got to protect domestic. BOS is one of the best domestic markets in the country, with a healthy international demand as well. Its time to go on the offensive and rebuild what was given away to competitors. I bet AA will also focus on it with renewed efforts too once their merger is fully complete.

There's no argument that Delta is a stronger airline financially but Jetblue has the better domestic product period. We'll see how important that is.
