Now that PS BF fares are down to $2,000 r/t, and it is a "me too" product, this route is vulnerable to a management team that measures loyalty by days. No way they can get the same traffic as others who have good connecting service to other cities in the Northeast. Think about the cost savings from shutting JFK and moving it to EWR. Massive. You know Rainey is all over this move.

My 2 cents prediction: UA at JFK is toast by the end of 2015. And I love this service and crew. United's finest. No way am I driving to EWR.
Good prediction
