Jetblue has and will continue to fail at having a successful IRROPS strategy. Part of the reason is that you can only cram so many people onto an Airbus 321. Now, throw in a MINT plane which goes MX or throw in a bad NY summer storm with mass cancellations and your going to have lots of disapointed MINT paying customers. At least with the big boys, they can throw a wide body into the mix and clear up any backlog within a day.
If they keep their price competitive, they just might be able to make a go of it!!!
