How would a smaller network and not being in an alliance help take passengers away? And with that much capacity wouldn't BR/CI just cut prices to squeeze JX? I simply don't see anyway this can work... trying to compete with BR/CI head-on. Why not pick an unserved market with no TPE competition (DFW, IAD, BOS, SAN, PDX, ATL, LAS -- basically go after KE's network) or something like SJC that might attract people from the South Bay?
