American quickly followed suit with their own all first class configured planes with you guessed it...56 seats. Of course, after Legend died, so did the American all first class configurations.
The American flights from DAL ended right after 9/11 and Legend went under before then (unfortunately). I've never flown JetBlue so I don't know how many seats their planes have but if they are 56 or less, JetBlue can fly from DAL without issue. American litigated Legend to death for the right to do this.
I would LOVE for JetBlue to come to Dallas. I'd use them instead of AA on all routes where JetBlue flew to the same place.
