To be honest, we had a better flight from cun-mia with them last year than with AA the other way round.
No meals on the AA flight in business class-just a pack of peanuts and a coke
Jet blue on the other hand had live TV
As someone with feet in both the OW and *A camps, I'd love to see them join either one.
Whatever other obstacles stand in the way, I wouldn't see it currently being all Y as a problem. It's already got a quasi-C option in terms of having and charging more for Y seats with 38" pitch, albeit they are still 6 across. It conceivably could stick with this. Or if it wanted/needed to offer a premium cabin to join an alliance, it could simply take the European approach of closing off the middle seat to make it more truly C (or in the domestic USA travel context, what's called F).
Come to think of it, if JetBlue were to go that latter route, and given the IFE options and better service it offers, it's C/F (domestic) product would be as good or better than any US legacy carrier.
