LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMBBBBLLLLEEEE!!!!


Four way west coast grudge match... American, Southwest, Alaskan and Jetblue. AMR and AK should just sit back and let WN take care of the pesky B6

Barger and Co. better be right. Expanding into a solid, cash rich WN market with a new Aircraft in a possible recession. Watch B6's "Big Cash" position (1+Billion so they say) go away in a flush of Free Cash Flow.

American won't let their flagship route go without a fight either...

Southwest really has to take a hard look at AirTran now as a weapon to kill B6. Stand-by... for new catalyst in the merger-go-round.

Then what are they canceling? They can't add any more flights because all airplane slots with a MTOW of 75,000 lbs or more are all gone.

That's why they said they would be adding smaller commuter planes. There are 11 slots open for airplanes MTOW less than 75,000 lbs. ExpressJet would seem to make sense, we do have XM radio and meals.

BUR is picking up 2 IAD, and one LAS flight. That's where the slots came from.

SEA, SJC ans AUS with 190's/320's

That's really great. But you didn't answer my question.
The article stated they wanted to expand in LGB. So where are they going to get that extra flying from?

Burbank is picking up 2x IAD and 1x LAS. Leaving three slots open at lgb.

You don't expand at LGB by leaving 3 slots and picking them back up. So I'll ask you again, where are they getting the extra flying from at LGB? I think it will be a codeshare with a regional.

Listen Carefully.

LGB is not seeing any change in the total number of flights. The slots that were used to fly to IAD (2x) LAS, and possibly a JFK are being used to fly the new cities. Frequency will decrease, while cities will increase? Get it?

So let me say this again, BUR is picking up the IAD and LAS flights. JetBlue is flying it's own routes with it's own aircraft. E90/320

SEA 90/320
SJC 90/320
AUS 90

Understand? Or do you still want to know what regional is flying for JB?

Why don't you listen carefully?

"Although Long Beach Airport is capped at 41 daily flights for large commercial jetliners, sources say JetBlue will likely expand its service by offering flights on smaller commuter planes."

There, I quoted it for you and everyone else. Now try and explain that without continuing to state the flying will expand elsewhere.

Understand? Or do you want to keep sounding like a broken record?

E190 is the smaller commuter planes they are talking about.
