Where it can be of bigger benefit to Frontier is to tap into JetBlue's customer base for their travel to non-JetBlue cities. When someone in Boston has to go to Omaha, they have a reason to choose Frontier.

That can benefit Denver, KC, and Milwaukee travelers because it helps to support more flights and more destinations overall. And perhaps there will be new or expanded links from the key Frontier cities to JetBlue hubs in JFK, Boston, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Long Beach.

So while I still would like to see international and (ideally) more domestic alternatives, JetBlue would be a great addition. We can hope!
If this would happen, it would be nice to se4e JetBlue add MKE to their portfolio. They are really lacking in the midsection of the country. A codeshare with Frontier would really broaden their route map.
