JetBlue has been pretty aggressive in attacking Delta's hubs. First it was Detroit, then they started the LaGuardia Shuttle, then Atlanta, and most recently, Minneapolis. I would not be surprised if the next domestic JetBlue destination to be announced will be CVG as it's the last of Delta's domestic hubs/focus cities that JetBlue doesn't serve yet.
Ha! Delta treats CVG like a third class citizen. CVG has been clamoring for JetBlue service for years, and here’s to hoping that happens. It’s one of the nicest airports in the country and gets garbage service. You’d think with all of the CVG to NYC/BOS (P&G + Macy’s) and MCO/FLL (Leisure) traffic they’d be able to make a go of it.
