The cuts in JetBlue's value prop have received heavy attention in national media, because those media are based in New York and there is high JetBlue consciousness there. The NBC Nightly News and CBS This Morning both gave this story heavy critical attention in the past 24 hours.
The analyst on the CBS morning show today (they did a long five-minute discussion of JetBlue and other carriers turning on the public) said she thought the more-seats, less-legroom, fewer-perks change was "a big risk" for B6, but also admitted "people have less choice" these days, so maybe the Wall Street whizzes are right and consumer choice really doesn't count for anything in this era -- unless you choose not to fly at all.
