Never is a long time so I won't say never - basically, its close to an unregulated monopoly in ATL.
I'm not so sure. JetBlue may decide try again.
One of the biggest factors in JetBlue's previous Atlanta foray was not Delta but Airtran which was also aggressively expanding and was effectively Atlanta based and offered a similar product to JetBlue. Essentially they were fighting two local airlines one of them low cost.
Southwest has cut their presence in Atlanta and service to many location I think there is opportunity for a product like JetBlue which offers premium seating and low cost.
