That wouldn't hurt JetBlue at Buffalo or Burlington, since their traffic flows are oriented to the East Coast.
Buffalo is down 10% this year, major canadian airports are all up. Maybe just chase the growing market? Im sure the drop in CDN dollar is having affect on people making the drive over border. Would be nice to have added level of competition but doubt we see it.
