SJU is the only blue or orange circle on this map that isn’t a Crew Base between Spirit or JetBlue.
Is it too soon to start the SJU base rumors?

The problem is that FLL would also work for most of these and has much better O&D

XLR would work for SJU-MAD. You could even use mostly A220 or regular 320s to hit a ton of spots from SJU:

The question would be if the few extra routes made possible with a SJU hub be worth the infrastructure/equipment investment and additional gates needed, especially if customs personnel would need to be beefed up to handle the volume. Meanwhile T4 at FLL would probably be more than happy to accommodate with a reduction in the old NK routes that JetBlue doesn’t keep.

I do think a SJU connect hub would be easier to do with just A220s and A320s. Many of those longer legs from FLL would either require LR/XLRs, or just not doing it at all because it's too long and thin of a route.

Out of curiosity, what is the current size of both Spirit’s and JetBlue’s seniority list? I think it would be interesting to see if the combined company grows in say the next 5 years, stays the same size, or shrinks. It’s a good snap shot to take right after the merger announcement.
