As others have noted, that is not the reason Jetblue pulled out. CO greatly increased their frequency, drastically lowered their fares, and may have even done a mileage promotion. I remember they went full throttle against Jetblue. It was truly a "Shock and Awe" campaign. I think they lowered fares to $69 each way.
I lived in NYC at the time and was considering a job in Puerto Rico so I remember this whole thing playing out.
