David Neeleman has said in interviews that JetBlue already serves San Juan (even though it is not an intnl destination) and is ready for intnl destinations at the right time. He did say that IF they do , they would probably focus on this side of the Atlantic - probably Mexico or Canada.

They will probably fly to both Canada and Mexico. I don't think they will compete with westjet but possible work with it. If ownership rules in Canada and the US were relaxed I can even see a Westjet/JetBlue merger. For now, it may be some kind of informal synergistic routing or partnership.

This mgmt is different from LUV. They do not have too much dogma (single aircraft, point to point no hubs, no in flt amenities, assigned seating, etc. etc.). They will stick to good principles but think out of the box quite often.
