Newest Rumor...
The newest clear rumor that's hot on a.net now is the next two cities will be:
CMH and STL
Both have been rumored for some time, especially STL more recently. Surprizingly, the a.net rumors have been accurate lately...especially the SRQ, TUS and HOU announcement. That was right on! A few months back, RDU and CLT were right on as well before it was official.
I'm still hearing IND, SAV, SAT, SXM...but we'll see what happens. I expect STL to start off with a few flights to JFK, some to BOS and thten probably next year (mid-07) they will further expand service there and add more cities.

OK, to think really really really really out side the box, and a bit silly..... service to London via Iceland or Greenland! HAHA.
EOS can be all First Class
MAXjet can be all Business Class
jetBlue can be all, well, jetBlue Class

That wouldn't make much sense ... the drive is about an hour and its only 60 miles between them ... its faster to drive. The flight would be preparing to land as it took off .
JFK to BOS is considered short and its 220 miles driving distance.
Just curious ... which other site?

And a.net definately does attract some special people ... I must have missed that post ... lol.

Daytona Beach International Airport officials are hoping to capture some of the domestic lower-cost leisure travel. Steve Cooke, the airport's director of business development, said negotiations are ongoing with JetBlue Airways.
"We've put together a package (of incentives) that are worth $1.5 million for JetBlue to offer flights to JFK (International Airport) in New York," Cooke said in a recent telephone interview. "They still have not said 'aye' or 'nay,' but they play their cards very close to their vest."
Cooke is encouraged, however, that last month JetBlue inaugurated service to Jacksonville."(JetBlue) had previously said they were considering Jacksonville, Daytona Beach and Melbourne (as destinations)," he said. "We think Daytona Beach service would also be a winner."

I haven't heard any rumblings about DAB. I have heard a strong push for STL as a destination. I don't know the time frame but I would still place my money on STL being announced.
