We are waiting for the additional gates as well as more crewmembers to be based there. By late summer and early fall the BOS base should be up and running at full capacity. If I remember correctly, when all is said and done, we should have some 15 gates at BOS.

I was surprised that BOS wasn't announced with JAX. If I had to guess, I would say that BOS would receive service from:

1)MSY
2)JAX
3)RDU
4)SAN
SMF agents told me BOS-SMF was in the works. I wish SMF-IAD would make a comeback...

BOS-SMF would be cool, but I thought they were focusing on shorter-haul now and less transcon due to crazy fuel prices. If they do add BOS-SMF though, you can fly SMF-IAD and then connect to the E190 from BOS-IAD, which is only a 1-hour flight or so!

No they won't come back IAD-SMF. Become due to the loads is not good enough for SMF. That's why Jetblue has been discontinued IAD-SMF. It doesn't work well for last couple months ago.

I can see BOS-SMF starting, i'll have to keep my eye on the pairings and see if it happens, but like you stated, the loads on IAD-SMF where horrible so I too don't see it coming back either.

You right about that IAD-SMF has been horrible on the loads for while ago. That's why Jetblue has been discontinuation.

No reason RSW can't be a focus city like FLL is, many flights to Boston and JFK/EWR are packed. Some more direct flights out west and to the Caribbean from RSW would be great. An RSW-MKE flight would do well here as Midwest and AirTran are too expensive/inconvenient and USA3000 is too unknown compared to JetBlue....hint hint

Rumored flights to JFK-Cancun would be nice for those up in NYC.

RSW is a growing market - but how many focus cities can one airline have!?

JetBlue applied for JFK-Cancun service back in November and it was a public announcement. I think that Spirit Airlines and damage from the hurricanes have something to do with them not receiving permission to fly that route yet.

American and Delta also applied for the JFK-CUN rights... As far as I know, the DOT has not yet announced a winner.

No no response from the government about who won the rights to fly NYC-CUN. Hopefully they will announce the winner soon!

You mean Jetblue not response from the government about JFK-CUN while. What about does DOT will given award begin JFK-CUN anytime soon. We shall wait see what happened Jetblue is receiving approved from DOT.

Can we at least get nonstop service to Washington started with JetBlue? The 2 hour drive to Fort Lauderdale is a killer when you have a new, clean, and modern airport right here. Maybe JetBlue could do like American does with RSW-MIA and get a small plane flying to FLL from RSW to provide more flight options for Southwest Florida JetBlue travelers to DC/Dulles, NYC/LaGuardia, Long Beach, and Oakland? Of course some businessmen would use it like a shuttle simply because it would be easier and quicker than driving on Alligator Alley on most days. Couldn't an Embraer 190 on that route?

The JFK-Cancun route would be more expensive most likely since we are closer in Florida to Cancun, but to those up north....it should save money.

I'm not sure what is taking so long with the announcement. The company seems pretty confident that we will win the rights. I'm under the impression that the government is waiting to see how well CUN rebounds after last years hurricane season. I would think they would want air service to start up quickly to help the economy, but I don't know how route authority works, I just serve our wonderful customers.

Are you possible sure about B6 will be announced to STL or possibly different city will begin from either JFK or BOS.
