So at that rate, I may as well just book the more expensive fare.
I agree, it sounds like this should work...but it's beyond insane that this hasn't been clearly communicated to Mosaic members. It's like B6 is daring us to take our business elsewhere at this point! Then again, with last fall's EMS seat devals & the free cancellation given to all...there's almost no point to Mosaic nowadays anyway.

It's really said that B6 has essentially given up on their top-tier customers. Dropping everything that made JetBlue a premium airline in order to become a feeder for AA really doesn't seem like a solid long-term strategy. This may help them in the short term (2021 & 2022), but every single move they've made has been to cheapen the JetBlue brand and make it more like AA & Spirit.
