Cheapest ticket does not equate to least expensive trip. Not only are there no alternatives, but F9 does not even interline.

I have no idea what the F9 tickets cost, but to put this in perspective, if this happened right now, there are DL seats tomorrow for $190. F9 can't interline, but the passengers are entitled to a full refund and could then head off to JFK.

WN, B6 (domestic), and F9 don't interline. This is one of their drawbacks and it is why many businesses don't permit employees to use those carriers in most circumstances.

Even if F9 interlined, chances are that they wouldn't have been able to get a full plane of passengers out of any NYC area airport (let alone ISP) before the next morning.
