I don't think the B6 is looking to heavily compete with the legacies for business travelers outside of JFK/BOS-LAX/SFO. While Mosaic soaks up a lot of the possible business travelers in the B6 system, they are NOT the main demo of B6 fliers, that would be leisure travelers.

Refundable booking requirements are becoming pretty scarce among the business travelers I know, but my sample may not be representative. Does JetBlue even offer refundable fares? Blue Flex are changeable, but not refundable.

I am based in BOS (and have moved travel to B6 almost entirely because of their schedule here) so my perspective may be skewed on the Mosaic population.
